Healthy criticism on Design sprints. Thoughts?

Feb '23 in General discussion & questions

After facilitating design sprints within a corporate environment along with my work as a UX designer I've made the switch and started my own design sprint agency.

Today I had an interesting conversation with someone about Design sprints and Design thinking. He just read the following article: https://www-technologyreview-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.technologyreview.com/2023/02/09/1067821/design-thinking-retrospective-what-went-wrong/amp/

I feel it has some good points. Mostly around the implementation phase where the facilitator (or facilitating agency) is not really involved and the company has to figure it out themselves.

Maybe the aftercare needs a bit more than just a report with a few recommendations. Should we be doing more?

I was wondering wat the community thinks about this.

So.... what are your thoughts?
