Case Study: SHYFTco advances workplace diversity with EchoUser's Design Sprint Workshop

SHYFTco hosts an 8-hour Diversity Lab with EchoUser

EchoUser partnered with SHYFTco to address the significant challenge of improving diversity and inclusion within the local Boulder tech industry. The customer sought pragmatic solutions to the persistent problems of recruiting, retaining, and creating an inclusive space for underrepresented groups in technical and leadership roles.

The solution implemented by EchoUser was a day-long Diversity Lab workshop, modeled after Google's design sprint. The workshop brought together participants from multiple tech companies to define goals, interview experts, and storyboard actionable solutions for the core issues. As a result, participants left with practical strategies and a community support system, feeling more prepared and eager to implement concrete plans for a more inclusive workplace. EchoUser and SHYFTco later presented these outcomes to the broader tech community at Boulder Startup Week.
