33A helps teams in organizations apply AI. We believe this is done with the people co-creating their AI solution. Our AI Design Sprint® guides and enables teams to do so—no technical expertise needed.

Safe AI is built into the method — ethical checks, regulatory awareness — so teams can move fast on something they trust.

Our perspective on AI

We believe AI can do a lot of good in the world. Our job is to make sure many organisations can shape it and lead with it — not just a powerful few.

Our contribution

We enable people to create AI solutions together: consultants with their clients, and in-house business and tech teams.

How we do this

Through training and certification in the AI Design Sprint®, a structured, team-based method for developing AI solutions. When needed, we lead AI Design Sprints® ourselves.

Our story

It started in academia, where Michael first developed the AI Design Sprint® to help students create emerging technology concepts—including AI—for Danish companies. The approach proved highly effective, enabling teams to produce concrete AI concepts in a short amount of time.

Recognizing that organizations faced the same challenge, Michael launched the AI Design Sprint® and co-founded 33A to bring it into practice. Since then, 33A has continuously expanded and refined the AI Design Sprint®, developing multiple modules to meet evolving technological and organizational needs.

Today, we train professionals in the AI Design Sprint® and evolve it continuously as AI technology and application areas rapidly progress.

Location

33A is based in Copenhagen, Denmark—a country known for its design heritage and high level of digitalization. It feels natural to bring design thinking/service systems design and AI together here. From this base, we serve people and organizations everywhere.
