"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.”

“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.”

“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 brings a level of energy and passion to education that creates a level of learning and enjoyment rarely seen. I would highly recommend Academy Xi as a training and development partner if you are looking for an industry-leading experience.”

“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.”

“It was absolutely amazing work that got us thinking somewhere completely different. I didn’t know what to expect but I really loved how you thought about our brand and knew where it sat in the market. It was very solid thinking.”

“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.”
