About this program

Use the power of Design Thinking for leadership and talent development

“There´s no great company without great people”.

As a powerful innovation tool, Design Thinking has helped create some of the world’s most successful products, services, and businesses. After years of research and testing, we found a way to use Design Thinking for leadership, talent development, and coaching. We have condensed it into a new framework: Designing Talent. We developed this program to enable leaders, team leaders, and HR-professionals to work with our approach. The Designing Talent Program will help your people sharpen their leadership and talent development competencies and bring out the very best in themselves and their teams.

Get ready for an invaluable learning journey!

In this program, we take our participants on a personal learning journey, giving them our state-of-the-art Design Thinking based process, lots of hands-on tools, time to reflect, and maximum practical experience.

The "You at Your Best" Assessment

Building on our strengths

The more consciously and frequently we use our strengths and build on them, the better we can learn and in turn, the more successful we become. When we learn new things and experience success, it drives us to chase even more growth, creating an upward trend in our lives. The You at Your Best Assessment covers different areas of strength which are crucial for learning and development, so we can continue to learn and grow as individuals personally and professionally. Our participants will get the opportunity to take this assessment in our program.

FAQ

  • What organizations use the Designing Talent Framework?

    The Designing Talent Framework is applied in global corporations, high-growth companies, start-ups, accelerators, leading business schools, schools, and family businesses.

  • What is the ACE Process?

    Especially in fast-changing times like these, we often don't know how to approach and find answers to individual, team, or company challenges. What's needed is a simple, yet reliable process for finding the best solution in any context. That is why we created ACE. ACE is a Design Thinking-based process with three phases:
    1. Address and Assess
    2. Create and Choose
    3. Execute and Evaluate.
    It is the key to effective problem-solving, performance improvement, and learning. We will be "ACE-ing" all kinds of challenges throughout the program. You will love working with it!

  • Do you work with assessments?

    To learn and work with the Designing Talent approach, we recommend our 360 "You at Your Best" Assessment. This will help you identify your key learning strengths and learning opportunities. We also offer other assessments that can be added to the program.
