Løpe helped DSB to improve an application process using Design Sprints
Løpe did a Design Sprint with DSB to help them improve a manual application process by helping them build and test a digital prototype of the process.
During the sprint we focused on the process foreigners have to go through to apply for approval of previous work experience from abroad. We ended the sprint with 5 online user interviews with tests of the new process. The team learned about what a potential solution to the application problem can look like. They also want to integrate Design Sprint as a part of their organisation.

Kickstarting a new digital product for a leading Norwegian innovation media house.
Shifter is the dominant media house on startups and the new economy in Norway. When they wanted to develop a new digital product, they contacted Løpe to do a Design Sprint.
Together we did a Design Sprint 2.0 @ Mesh in Oslo. In 4 days we prototyped and tested a digital prototype with 5 real users.
"We were very happy with having Løpe facilitate our design sprint. Our greatest benefit was the team being aligned with our new digital product initiative. Both facilitators were easy going, hard working and very competent."

Learnlink
Helping one of Norway's most promising startups with prototyping a new platform for online tutoring.
Learnlink is a digital platform for private tutoring. They are the market leader in Norway and contacted Løpe because they were looking for expansion into new markets. Namely the online tutoring market.
In a week-long Design Sprint we built and tested a platform with 5 users.
Hold App
Helping a rapidly growing productivity app
get results in 5 days, instead of a month.
Hold is a productivity app that helps individuals get things done by getting off their phones. Løpe facilitated a Design Sprint with them with the goal of finding a way to integrate a social aspect to increase the use of the app.
But it was not the prototype and user feedback that was the most valuable takeaway from running a Design Sprint. After the team developed and tested two prototypes with five users and got real data, a change in mindset happened. They realized how fast it really is possible to move and what user-centeredness really means.
In an anonymous study conducted after the design sprint each team member reported:
-
Increased speed in teamwork.
-
Increased focus on the end-user.
-
Increased trust in creative abilities and the creative process.
This change in mindset has enabled Hold to move much faster. Today they know how to get results in 5 days, instead of a month.
