Zone 01 / The Challenger House Sprint
Three months. Capability built inside the work.
The 1-Day opens the door. The Sprint is where capability and results compound: three months of work wrapped around a three-day Residency, so the new way of working doesn’t just get experienced, it gets embedded.
Zone 02 / The arc
Before · weeks 1 to 4Define
We define the use cases with you, build the story, map the stakeholders, and work 1:1 with every participant at the Drawing Board. People tell us individually what they would never say in front of peers and boss, and that becomes the diagnostic data the room runs on. The Residency only works because of what happens before it.
The core · 3 daysThe Residency
Your team, in one place, on your real problems and your real data. A month’s work in three days, and somewhere in the middle the realisation that the speed isn’t the point.
After · weeks 5 to 12Embed
Office hours, masterclasses, one-to-ones, ambassador roles, weekly rhythms, and the measurement of what actually changed. Adoption is what happens after the room.
Zone 03 / What clients walk away with
Exemplary deliverables from previous Sprints.
- Three priority workflows identified, rebuilt and running with AI inside them, chosen by the team, not by us.
- Handover packages accelerated from months to days, with the receiving side pressure-testing them in the room.
- A clickable KPI dashboard mockup built by the team itself, interfacing with their existing tooling.
- 3 to 5x reported speed on research, drafts and mockups, and a backlog cleared that had been immovable for months.
- Self-organised ambassador roles and a weekly sync the team set up without being asked. Adoption taking root, not being rolled out.
- Board-ready artefacts: working demos, cases, maps and multimedia, not proposals about what could be built.
| Dimension | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Time to handover-ready artefact | 2 to 8 months | 5 to 7 days |
| Cost to MVP-grade asset | High, untracked | ~70% lower |
| Innovation funnel throughput | 5 bets a year | 10 to 20+ |
| Talent dependency | IT-bottlenecked | AI-trained experts |
| Output format | PowerPoint | Code, demos, multimedia |
Tab. 3.1 / Before & after, measured across engagements
Imagine someone promises to serve you the most amazing dessert you ever ate, and this guy is just describing it to you. The ah moment comes when you taste it. Being here creates the moment when you taste the dessert in real life.Participant · regulated European energy client
Zone 04 / Why residential
AI gives you speed. The house gives you depth.
Because AI compresses screen work so effectively, the human work can finally expand. People eat together, argue over the artefacts their AI creates, take walks between sessions, have the conversation at 10pm that changes the project direction. This is not a workshop where people sit around tables. It is a house. You come here to challenge yourself, challenge each other, and challenge the way you have been working.
AI adoption doesn’t compound in individuals. It compounds in teams.
After the Residency, the group self-organised its next steps without being asked: ambassador roles in their home teams, and a weekly sync they set up themselves. That is not a typical result. That is adoption taking root.Engagement retrospective, first client

It all starts with one day.
We rarely sell the Sprint cold. Experience the 1-Day first, then decide with evidence.
