Holistically the best, most immersive training course I’ve attended. High calibre facilitators and speakers, a great practical toolkit and a case study to apply them to, meant that everyone went away from the course energised and overflowing with ideas to practically implement the Design Thinking principles. I can’t recommend enough!
Warren Kearney, Director of Business Solutions, BT
Best investment of 5 days I have ever made
Neil Halls, Innovation Strategist, VISA
Absolutely the best course I’ve ever been on- everything was superbly organised and made for a perfect learning environment
John Wood, Associate Director, Trades Union Congress
I can certainly say the design journey we went on was insightful, fully immersive, highly educational, challenging and a brilliant, useful, practical experience. If you are worrying if it’s worth it – DON’T – it truly is. Go for it, you won’t regret it.
Kate Hall, Design Director, HS2
The coaches/ facilitators at the Design Thinkers Academy are masters of their art. Hands down the best training course I have ever been on.
Bee Heller, Partner, The Pioneers
The content, facilitation and delivery of the course was world class.
James Leech, Innovation Analyst, Fidelity
The Design Thinkers Academy Bootcamp is a truly immersive experience that managed to provide real-world tools and techniques, rigorous evidence for the power of design, and a great deal of fun.
Ezri Carlebach, Senior Associate, The PR Network and Visiting Lecturer, University of Greenwich
