Lumi For Innovation
Solve real problems fast and build Human-AI collaboration skills through structured, project-based sprints.
Adapted from a Stanford University programme
Start by defining the right problem, then
shape the right solution.
We believe innovation is a learnable,
teachable process, and that is empowering
for people everywhere.

What is an Innovation Sprint?
An Innovation Sprint is a short, facilitator-led programme where a small team tackles a real challenge and produces a tested concept.
Open to Everyone
Works for any background and skill level
Socratic and Empowering
Facilitators guide thinking, not give answers
Real-world and Practical
Every activity is tied to a live challenge
What you get
Tested innovations fast
Move from a real challenge to a tested concept and early prototype in weeks.
Skills built in the work
People learn by doing. Skills grow during the sprint,
not after it.
Data-driven progress
Real-time feedback and evidence help teams improve quickly, with less guesswork.
