Turn Messy Ambition
Walk away with a shared North Star, measurable success metrics, and a simple roadmap your team can actually execute.
What happens when teams try to do strategy the usual way?
Projects pull in different directions
Priorities keep changing
People talk in circles
Nothing really moves forward
Loud voices win while important risks get ignored
It’s not because your team isn’t smart or creative. It’s because unstructured discussion kills momentum.But there’s a better way to solve problems together. Fast, inclusively, and with clear outcomes.That’s what the Innovation Workshop is all about.

Founder's Letter
Out of the thousands of businesses trying to move fast, most are still stuck in meetings that go nowhere.
Yep, even with smart people and great AI powered tools, decision-making has never felt more sluggish.
Most teams struggle with two things:
1) Getting aligned around the right problem.
2) Turning strategy into action without endless back-and-forth.
That’s why I started ByFriday. To help teams like yours move faster, think sharper, and make progress you can actually see.
We use facilitated workshops and proven sprints to help you solve problems, make decisions, and unlock momentum in days, not months.
We’ve already helped teams get clarity, solve real business challenges, and walk out of the room knowing exactly what happens next. If your team’s stuck in meetings and decision loops, let’s fix that.
Worked with 50+ startups & scaleups
