“Partnering to create ‘CBA Product Management Essentials’ is our commitment to delivering better customer outcomes and developing our people. It was a pleasure working with an amazing team of passionate professionals in both CBA and Academy Xi.”

“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 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.”
