Trying to get your team to work differently is hard. We’ve developed our toolkit of practical, action-oriented methods in the field, and identified the critical, connect-the-dots approaches to design, strategy, and innovation that really work.
Our courses are designed to support you working on a real work problem. Follow along with your real-world work problem as we walk through a real-world example. At the end of the course, you’ll have something to show for it that your boss and team will love.
Each course is jam packed with templates, worksheets, and frameworks to help you build out your toolkit and adapt to your work. You’ll walk away with a real, valuable work product, as well as learning the method and growing your capabilities.
We are passionate about teaching what we’ve learned the hard way on the job. We want to make it easier for you to transform your practice through a new practical way of working. We invite you to join us, have fun, and level up!
