Proof of Concept Sprint — The CO.CREATION Space

The CO.CREATION Space

From the Business Toolkit · Your Custom Journey

What is the
Proof of Concept Sprint?

The Proof of Concept Sprint is an iterative journey — 24 sessions over up to 6 months. Twelve sessions of structured content. Twelve sessions of application, discussion, and iteration. You move at your own pace. Each session makes the concept stronger.

The Proof of Concept Sprint is drawn from the business toolkit in The CO.CREATION Space, once your [RE]Ignite Sprint is complete — one of a growing set of Sprints businesses draw on as diagnosed, not in a fixed order. It is a 24-session journey in CO.WORK, structured in two stages: 12 content sessions that guide you through the full design thinking process from Ideation to Iteration, and 12 application sessions where you breathe, process, discuss, and iterate — at your own pace, within the weekly session rhythms. Up to 6 months in total. Start when you are ready.

The Process

Design Thinking.
Start to Finish.

A proven design thinking methodology — structured, sequential, and built for real-world application. You move through four phases: Ideation, Concept Definition, Business Model, and Prototype & Test.

The Rhythm

Weekly Sessions.
Start Anytime.

Sessions run within CO.MMUNITY Wednesdays (10:00–13:00 or 14:00–17:00) and CO.DESIGN Tuesdays (13:30–16:30, until end September). You join when you are ready and move through 12 sessions at your own pace.

The Environment

CO.WORK in The
CO.CREATION Space.

You work in the CO.WORK environment — purpose-built Miro boards guide every session, with processing built in. The boards hold the structure so you can focus entirely on your concept.

The Outcome

A Concept Setup
for Iteration.

You walk away with a concept that has been prioritised, being tested in the market, and set up to be refined through iteration — learning the principles of prototyping and testing, and building your confidence every time. This process is the foundation for everything that comes next in your business.

After the 12 content sessions, your 12 application sessions give you the space to breathe, process, and iterate — at your own pace, within the same weekly rhythms. And after all 24 sessions, continue through your Office Pass: turning The CO.CREATION Space into the place where you keep showing up and working on your business.

The Journey

24 Sessions.
Two Stages. One Journey.

The Sprint runs across 24 sessions in two stages. The 12 content sessions below guide you through the full design thinking arc. Each is paired with an application session — time to process, discuss, and iterate what you have just worked through. You move through both at your own pace.

01

Phase 1 · Ideation

Ideation Divergence

Open the field wide. Explore every possible direction before narrowing in.
02

Phase 1 · Ideation

Ideation Convergence

Narrow in on the idea with the most promise and traction.

Map the landscape of possible solutions for your chosen idea.
04

Phase 2 · Concept Definition

Crystallise your chosen direction with precision and clarity.
05

Go deeper — surface assumptions, risks, and the real opportunity.
06

Phase 3 · Business Model

Profit Mechanism

How does your concept make money? Define your revenue logic.
07

Phase 3 · Business Model

Value Chain

Who creates value, who delivers it, and how it flows to the customer.
08

Phase 3 · Business Model

Value Proposition & Customer Clarity

For whom. Why them. Why now. Why you — and not someone else.
09

Phase 4 · Prototype, Test & Iterate

Prototyping

Make it tangible enough to put in front of real people.
10

Phase 4 · Prototype, Test & Iterate

The Pitch

Articulate your concept with confidence, clarity, and conviction.
11

Phase 4 · Prototype, Test & Iterate

Testing

Real-world validation — does it hold up when it meets your market?
12

Phase 4 · Prototype, Test & Iterate

Refining & Iterating

Learn from the test. Refine what needs refining. Decide your next move.

Stage 2 · Application Sessions

12 Sessions to Breathe, Process & Iterate

Each content session is paired with an application session — time to return to the Space, discuss what you worked through, apply it to your concept, and iterate. You decide the pace. The application sessions run within the same CO.MMUNITY Wednesday and CO.DESIGN Tuesday rhythms, at R480/month for up to 3 months (R1,440 in total). Billed monthly as you go.
