"Gaining a solid understanding of the key concepts underpinning Human Centered Design was critical for designing a number of new offerings. Amir did a brilliant job at providing us with both the knowledge and tools to get us on our way! Big thank you from Planet Ark's ACE Hub team."

“Apart from a download of AI fundamentals, we learned that AI is here to stay, and we should upskill ourselves in using AI tools to help us be more efficient and creative in our jobs. There's a sure way to future-proof our skills and stay relevant—through the use of AI tools that keep evolving every day.”

“We were surprised by how aligned the UX work was with the future strategies of the business. Most of the concepts that the group came up with were already in our roadmap. It was superb validation from the perspective of fresh eyes.”

“We engaged with Academy Xi to help us with Lendlease’s first Hackathon, which was no easy task. It was a huge risk for the company to take 100 employees away from their day jobs but we had overwhelmingly positive feedback from all those involved as well as incredibly creative and potentially disruptive ideas. Academy Xi brought a lot of energy and expertise, particularly in UX design, which was key to its success.”

“The Intro to Human-Centred Design course was a great team building exercise. A lot of interesting concepts were covered. My team also got the opportunity to collaborate with participants from other divisions on problems specific to our organisation (as opposed to hypothetical problems). Every participant got something useful out of the day”

“Our team came to Academy Xi for some group training in UX & Service Design. The purpose of this training was to help establish common practices and outputs for the team. The training was a tailored experience, to ensure that all team members would get something out of it, and felt engaged. It was a great team building exercise, and really helped us agree on methodology - which in turn helped us have a common approach within the workplace - which helped enormously in streamlining our approach.”

“Working with Academy Xi has been a highly rewarding experience. We worked closely with their team as our strategic design partner to co-design a customer-centric ‘Way Of Working’ framework, set of supporting capabilities and a guidebook containing tools and templates. Academy Xi contributed hugely to our program’s success.”

“In my former role as Head of Learning and Development at QBE Insurance, I partnered with Academy Xi to support the business to invest in reskilling for the future. Academy Xi is my learning partner not my learning provider. They bring expertise, knowledge and skilled facilitators and then collaborate to ensure solutions resonate and feel like internal offerings as opposed to off the shelf external products. Today, I value having the Academy Xi team in my network and look forward to continuing to work with them.”

“Academy Xi has an inbuilt reflex ready to meet the critical talent needs of businesses. They provide access to talent that is easy to stand up. We saved significant money and got the same, if not better, outcome than if we’d gone through a traditional agency.”

“All of our programs with Academy Xi are 70+ on NPS scores which isn’t just industry-leading but is in fact a long way ahead of benchmarks in industry.”
