Cross Functional Strategy Sprint at Politikens Hus

Results

Employees across four news media outlets created a visual mockup and sketch of a new shared digital process for producing and delivering news. The design included new roles, a restructured team setup, shared access to reader data, security measures, news flows, and AI integration.

Challenge

The leadership needed collective alignment in leadership and in their teams across news domains. During the strategy sprint, employees shared and consolidated knowledge and experiences across teams, designing a future-proof digital news production and publishing process, integrating data and organizational structure.

Solution

The leaders participated in a facilitated strategy process to visualise shared future goals and scenarios for the organization and the news market. Following this, employees spent four days collaboratively designing and visualizing a shared news production process that would support these future scenarios.

I am really happy that I hired you in for this job. It was not an easy thing to do but you have demonstrated real value with your strategy design sprint approach to solve the challenge.
