Cudos to the original creator of the Sailboat exercise, who devised a method so popular, it is impossible to identfy the first edition in amongst all the remakes. Good job! 🎉

Template to guide yourself or a group through a reflection exercise. Begin by thinking of a specific event or situation.

Customer Touchpoint Map Template
Works best for:
Desk Research, Product Management, Mapping
To attract and keep loyal customers, you have to truly start to understand them—their pain point, wants, and needs. A customer touchpoint map helps you gain that understanding by visualizing the path your customers follow, from signing up for a service, to using your site, to buying your product. And because no two customers are exactly alike, a CJM lets you plot out multiple pathways through your product. Soon you’ll be able to anticipate those pathways and satisfy your customers at every step.
Growth Experiments Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Desk Research, Strategic Planning
Many ambitious companies are eying the future and aiming to grow. But growth decisions can be leaps of faith that are risky and costly. That’s why growth experiments make so much sense. They offer a systematic six-step method that reveals which strategies are most effective, how they’ll affect your revenue, and how they compare to your past approaches. By helping you test out your strategies for scaling your business before you fully commit, growth experiments can save you serious time, resources, and money.
Lean Coffee: Meetings without Agendas
Works best for:
Agile
Lean Coffee: Meetings without Agendas is a collaborative meeting format that fosters open dialogue and emergent topics. Participants suggest discussion topics, vote on them, and engage in time-boxed conversations. This template provides a structured framework for facilitating Lean Coffee sessions, enabling teams to prioritize topics, share insights, and make decisions collectively. By promoting inclusivity and adaptability, Lean Coffee empowers teams to address issues efficiently and drive continuous improvement.
Empathy Map Template
Works best for:
Market Research, User Experience, Mapping
Attracting new users, compelling them to try your product, and turning them into loyal customers—it all starts with understanding them. An empathy map is a tool that leads to that understanding, by giving you space to articulate everything you know about your customers, including their needs, expectations, and decision-making drivers. That way you’ll be able to challenge your assumptions and identify the gaps in your knowledge. Our template lets you easily create an empathy map divided into four key squares—what your customers Say, Think, Do, and Feel.
