Learning by doing
Immersive, live workshops attended virtually or in-person — led by ExO Trainers, Coaches and Advisors who've shipped the work themselves.
Making you the Sprinthero
We help leaders place bets on the future.
Sprint design, delivery, facilitation, coaching and support — blending ExO transformation with foresight, design thinking, JTBD, lean venture building and AI-native methods. Since 2016.
Sprinthero is a sprint studio for innovators and business leaders. We package the best practices of foresight, research, design thinking, ExO transformation and AI-native venture building into focused 1–4 week sprints with real outputs.
We've run 100+ sprints with Fortune 500 companies, scale-ups and government — across energy, finance, retail, mobility, health and AI.
The goal is always the same: turn uncertainty into conviction, and conviction into action.
Sprinthero is a service offered by Stakeholder Agency since 2016.

Founder & lead Sprint designer
Lars Lin Villebaek
Lars founded Sprinthero in 2016 as the sprint practice inside Stakeholder Agency. He designs and facilitates the sprints that turn bold bets into validated, fundable ventures — for Fortune 500 leaders, scale-ups and governments alike.
A certified ExO Trainer, Coach and Advisor, Lars has spent two decades at the intersection of strategy, learning and exponential technology — helping teams imagine futures, pressure-test ideas, and build the muscles to keep doing it long after the engagement ends.
How we work with you
Three modes of engagement. One outcome: capability that stays in-house.
Coaching
A 4th Industrial Revolution skillset
Coaching is essential for empowering autonomous teams to find new solutions to the biggest challenges — and to keep finding them long after the sprint ends.
Implementation

Backed by the global OpenExO ecosystem.
Sprinthero composes teams from a worldwide network of certified ExO Coaches, Advisors and entrepreneurs. Every sprint is staffed for the bet you're making — not the bench we happen to have.
