"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."

“As the Director of Educational Innovation at UNSW, I am pleased to share my experience with Academy Xi’s introductory workshop on Human Centred Design that they recently conducted for my team. The presenter’s depth of industry experience was evident through his detailed insights into the nuanced application of Human Centred Design within a complex, multi-layered organisation like our university. The concepts covered were not only useful but also inspiring, prompting my team to integrate these ideas into their ongoing projects. The impact of this workshop has been profound, with noticeable changes in staff approaches already. I highly recommend Academy Xi for their expertise and the tangible benefits their training brings.”

“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.”

“Academy Xi is an exceptional partner. They have been instrumental in helping our team to rethink and redesign how we approach service for learners at UNSW”

“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.”

“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.”
