The Problem

Most product organisations don’t need a transformation programme. They need one well-chosen change, validated properly, and implemented in a way people actually adopt.

The hard part is knowing which change and whether it will actually work before you commit to it.

THE SOLUTION:

The Product Ops Sprint

A structured five-week built around one specific operating model challenge. Five days, the right people in the room, a clear verdict at the end.

Monday

Understand

Stress-test the problem before touching the solution. End of day: one agreed problem statement.

Tuesday

Diverge

Generate competing solution directions, not the first plausible answer, but several.

Wednesday

Decide

Critique, vote, commit. One direction chosen. Critical assumptions named.

Thursday

Prototype

The chosen direction made concrete enough to test. Built independently or together depending on Wednesday’s confidence level.

Friday

Validate

The prototype tested with the people who would live with it.
End of day: Go, No-Go, or Go-with-conditions, in writing.

What you get

Agreed Problem Statement

Operating Model Prototype

Verdict Document (Go / No-Go / Go-with-conditions)

A decision made with evidence, owned by the people who built it

PRICE

Testimonials

Mohit Kumar

Head of Product, OLX

“He never got stuck in process for the sake of process. He helped us to always start small, test things out, validate, and only then scale what worked.”

Remi Ribas

Co-founder & CEO, Equipped.

“He knows how to make workshops collaborative so that you don’t just leave with a few punchlines in mind but with the feeling of having done something yourself.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How much of my team’s time does this take?

Roughly 6-7 hours across the week:
– One session per day, 90 minutes to 2 hours each.
– Nobody needs to clear their week.
– Just block the sessions in advance and keep Thursday afternoon on hold until Wednesday.

Who should be in the room?

4-6 people depending on the day:
– The sprint lead
– People closest to the problem
– Named Decider with final authority on Wednesday.

We confirm the right people during the intake call.

Can we compress it into 1-2 days?

The sequence is load-bearing. Each day’s output is the input for the next session. Compressing it removes the processing time between sessions, which is where real decisions get made rather than immediate reactions.

The week is the method, not the schedule.

What’s the conditional Thursday?

Wednesday ends with a confidence check.
– If the room is strongly aligned, I build the prototype independently and you get Thursday back.
– If there are open questions, we co-build it together in a 2-hour session.

Either way, the prototype is ready for Friday.

Is this remote or in-person?

Remote-first. All sessions run over video call. In-person is possible if you’re based in Lisbon or if travel is covered.

What if the verdict is No-Go?

A No-Go is a good outcome. It means you’ve avoided committing months of organisational energy to something that wouldn’t have worked.

The Verdict Document explains why and usually points toward what to do instead.

What happens after the sprint?

If the verdict is Go or Go-with-conditions, many clients continue with an Implementation Advisory retainer to support execution.

That conversation happens naturally at the end of Friday. No obligation, no pitch.

Is there a guarantee?

If by end of Monday’s session the sprint isn’t the right fit, you can choose to stop.

The deposit (35%) covers preparation and the first session and is non-refundable. Everything beyond that is only charged if we continue.
