Coach Exponential Organizations as a Sprinthero!
The Coach Companion Program
Advanced Training
The program offers the participants highly realistic, immersive, practical training in delivering in the role of an ExO Coach. This is the advanced extension that builds on your OpenExO Coach Certification.
The program covers all the stages of the ExO Sprint from scoping a Sprint together with the client, though the Pre-Sprint preparations to the Sprint execution and Post-Sprint implementation.
You also get to work with OKR (Objectives & Key Results) as well as other relevant methodologies and frameworks of importance to innovative organizations.
Spot the Challenges
Get exposed to most common as well as the hardest real-life Sprint challenges you can encounter as a Coach during ExO Transformation Sprints.
We have built a top-10, which you will practice together with us, and which are often very solid selling points for organizations who consider how to best benefit from working with ExO Coaches.
Gain practical experience for managing the continuous, situational adjustments of the Sprint team assignments in the context of the scope of the process.
Decision Making
Never get stuck again with your Sprint team. Practice the art and skill of making hard decisions fast and keep moving forward, also when you face critical roadblocks.
Learn How to maximise the traction and outcome during the Exploration & Research, during Moonshot Ideation, how to accomplish real validation/invalidation during Experimentation, Pitching for disruptive feedback during the Disrupt Workshop (and later in the process, pitching for sponsorship and funding), Best practices for rapid prototyping (and what we learned from the masters) , and finally how to coach executives to choose a balanced portfolio of ExO initiatives, building a roadmap for them and build the implementation teams.
Join the Coach Directory
Having completed the ExO Coach Companion program, you qualify to be listed as an official Sprinthero Coach, where you can opt-in to being introduced to clients for transformation project work.
Our clients operate in many different domains. All of them are committed to their transformation journeys and we are committed to coach them. Are you onboard too?

Get to study different approaches to make internal ExO Sprint announcements in client organizations
We have seen some pretty mindblowing ways of engaging large organizations, making the Sprint the most cool new project to get involved in. We have also formed our opinions on what happens if you try to sneak the Sprint silently into an organization (to avoid drama if the Sprint fails to deliver). We show you all this and more..
