Acceleration Sprints
Acceleration Sprints are designed to create movement when progress has stalled.
Each Sprint targets a single operational constraint that is limiting growth. During six, two-hour focused sessions held over the course of three weeks, we help leadership teams restore clarity, alignment, and traction.

Freqently Asked Questions
-
An Acceleration Sprint is a focused, short-term engagement designed to solve a specific leadership or growth challenge.
Each Sprint is structured around a defined outcome and consists of six two-hour virtual sessions over the course of three weeks held with a company’s leadership team. We work to clarify the issue at hand, make decisions, and leave with a concrete plan for moving forward.
This is not open-ended consulting. It’s a disciplined working process with a clear finish line to help you get unstuck and create momentum.
-
Sprints are scheduled over the course of three weeks. They are intentionally structured to move quickly while giving leaders time between sessions to reflect, gather input, and pressure-test decisions.
The goal is to establish momentum.
-
Sprints involve six virtual working sessions, two hours each, with a company’s leadership team.
Between sessions, leaders may complete short exercises, or gather relevant data. The time commitment is real, but contained.
The Sprints are designed to work alongside ongoing operations, not disrupt them.
-
That depends on where you’re stuck. Some Sprints focus on brand clarity and positioning. Some focus on leadership alignment and decision-making. Others address growth bottlenecks, structure, accountability, or execution rhythm.
If none of the Sprints seem to be exactly what you’re experiencing, we advise starting with the Clarity Foundations Sprint. This Sprint is designed to surface what is driving the tension you’re feeling. It helps leadership step back, examine priorities, performance signals, and operating assumptions, and identify the root constraint that is slowing growth.
If you’re unsure of where to begin, this is the Sprint we recommend you start with.
-
You should expect clarity and forward motion. By the end of the Sprint, leadership will have:
Clear decisions made
Defined priorities
A practical action plan
Alignment around what changes and what should not
You’ll leave with a direction of what will help get you unstuck, and a plan for accountability.
-
Many companies use a Sprint to solve a specific issue and move forward independently. Others realize during the process that deeper structural work is needed and choose to continue into broader implementation.
But the Sprints themselves are designed to stand alone.
-
That’s a common issue. Growth rarely creates just one problem. If you’re considering multiple Sprints, contact us and we’ll recommend the order based on where pressure is greatest and what will unlock the most progress.
In some situations, it might make sense to begin with our 3As Situational Diagnostic. The 3As provides a structured assessment of how your organization is operating today and highlights where misalignment, constraint, or breakdown is occurring.
When there are multiple pressure points, we might be dealing with symptoms rather than root causes. The deeper assessment helps identify what is actually driving the issues.
The key is focus and sequence. Trying to address everything at once diffuses energy. Treating symptoms instead of root cases wastes time and money.
-
Acceleration Sprints are designed to work for companies of many sizes. What matters more than size is readiness.
Sprints are most effective when the decision-makers are willing to engage directly, examine what’s not working, and commit to clear next steps. Sprints are best used by growing companies that need focus without committing to a long-term engagement.
If you are serious about resolving a specific constraint and want to move forward with momentum quickly, a Sprint is a great option for you.
-
Each Acceleration Sprint is a fixed investment of $7,500. That includes six two-hour virtual working sessions with your leadership team over three weeks, along with all supporting materials and facilitation.
For Massachusetts-based companies, the state’s Workforce Training Grant may reimburse all or nearly all of the investment. If you are eligible, we can guide you through what that looks like once we begin the conversation.
-
We begin with a discussion about your current growth plans and the challenges you are facing. From there we’ll explore which Sprint makes the most sense for your situation.
If you’re ready to resolve a specific constraints and move forward with clarity to gain momentum, the next step is to schedule a call with us.
