What is the SIP?

A volunteer program to build solutions for sustainability issues (Economic, Social and Environmental). We empower both communities and participants through an online or a blended design sprint (online and in-person), using Design Thinking for Sustainability. We collect data to address a specific challenge faced by the community, brainstorm ideas, and co-design a prototype of the final solution.

Our process involves 3 key components: volunteers, the agile and design mindset, and a cause we are passionate about. Learn more about our process here!

Sustainability Incubator Program Components

International Professional Volunteers

Professionals experts in agility and other fields, giving their skills and knowledge for the people and planet, in a virtual
volunteer program.

Design Sprint for Sustainability

A Design Thinking, Social Innovation, and Doughnuts Economies-inspired approach, for social, environmental and economical impact. This is a 32hrs design sprint led by experts.

Local Communities

Any community in need of support.
Where? Anywhere in the world. We talk about local communities, and "local" means it is a group with shared problems in the same geographical space. So, if it is local for you, it is local for us!

The SIP Process: Design Thinking for Sustainability

Our formats vary depending on your needs.

A SIP: An online 32-hour Sprint for Sustainability. This is perfect if meeting in person is not an option.
SIP-A-THON: A blended 12-hour online and a 7-hour in-person Sprint for Sustainability. This works great for groups of people wanting to feel energized and motivated by experiencing the power of the collective.
Mini SIP: An online or in-person 2-hour session to go through all the experience in a fast way (like drinking an espresso shot). This is ideal if you want to get to know us.
