Our courses are designed to inspire individual learning and organisational skills development through fun, engaging and collaborative modules.
We use a blended approach to learning. We combine online live lectures and guest speakers with pre-recorded interviews, case studies, and suggested reading. Topics are further explored in group discussions enabling knowledge sharing and deepening of the learning. We integrate design thinking processes, with the expertise and knowledge of the group to rethink and redesign “wicked” challenges.
We use some of the best online collaboration tools, and some of the oldest and most tested techniques to unlock the collective intelligence and understanding of the group.
Not only will you be learning, but you will be expected to share experiences and co-create new approaches with your peers.
