Innovation Academy

Supercharge your teams! Learn to do what we do

Innovation Academy

Innovation. Problem solving. Design thinking. Storytelling. They’re the in thing. Have you noticed? Everybody wants to know how to do them... and with good reason. They’ve become essential skills that every company needs to stay ahead of today’s constant changes.

That’s where we come in. We have bucketloads of experience using all of these skills to help organisations – from ambitious startups to the biggest businesses on the planet – find answers to their most complex problems. And while we love working with you to solve your problems, we also love training your teams to solve their own.

So we’ve packed our experience into our Academy, giving you access to our secrets, systems and biggest learnings, and using them on real-world, real-time challenges. Pay attention at the back.

Why our training works

We’ve created and delivered hundreds of workshops, courses and problem-solving sprints - always with people at the heart of them. Every course gives you:

A new perspective

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
