In short: Use the organization's intranet or slack to gather ideas before and feedback during a design sprint. If there is no tool like that use team events and do it in-person.

Use the intranet or slack

When you're doing a design sprint in a big organization, you're usually involving just 5 to 12 people. But how do you engage hundreds of others? One trick I've used is leveraging the company's intranet—if they have one.

Before the sprint: gather ideas

You can post the challenge you'll tackle a few weeks before the Design Sprint and ask for ideas. These ideas can inspire the sprint participants and serve as research data.

During the sprint: get feedback

In the middle of the design sprint, share prototypes on the intranet and ask for feedback. This approach works well if you split the sprint into two sets of two days, giving employees time to post their thoughts between the sprints. You can then use this feedback in the second sprint to improve your service, product idea.

How to do it without intranet or slack

If there's no intranet or Slack, join team or departments events within the organization. Present your challenges and prototypes there to gather ideas and feedback in-person.
