Innovation Academy

Growth today depends on how confidently your people can adapt, experiment and evolve. Our courses and customised capability building programmes give leaders and teams the skills and mindset needed to deliver on their ambitions, respond to change with confidence and build lasting resilience.

We've helped some of the world's biggest businesses solve their most complex problems. We also believe in building capabilities, not dependencies, so that teams can continue to solve challenges after we've left the building. That's why we've packed our expertise into the courses below, as well as creating programmes for your precise needs.

A new perspective
  • We’ve learnt first-hand which mindsets and behaviours are most successful at turning change to an advantage.
  • We engage participants through stories, real-life experiences and some of the biggest wins – and fails – we’ve seen.
Experienced trainers
  • We practise what we preach, so our training has been designed and iterated during our years of experience with the companies, teams and leaders we work with.
  • More than training, we are your partner for building the capabilities your business needs.
Practical real-world skills
  • Training is hands-on, learning real-world repeatable skills, for real-world problem solving
  • You’ll get the tools you need to kickstart new capabilities, new thinking and new ways of working in your team
An innovation community
  • You gain access to our community, made up of experts in innovation and people from a range of sectors, all focused on creative problem solving
  • You’ll have priority access to events and publications to help you embed your skills into your everyday practice
