Skills training for digital design teams

Your staff are your most valuable asset. Growing their skills is vital in empowering them to achieve more. Training gives them the edge to successfully and confidently tackle the challenges facing digital design teams.

Our skills training is delivered by senior practitioners who currently work on projects with digital teams across industry sectors. This ensures the training is contemporary, relevant, and informed by real-life practices.

Our senior practitioners provide tailored private training to help your team accelerate their digital skills. In small group sessions – in-person or remote – we’ll provide coaching and training in practical design techniques. All our training is run live so attendees can ask questions in the moment. Each training course includes a follow-up session to allow attendees to ask questions once they’re had a chance to put their new skills into practice.

Clearleft ran training sessions on service design for staff across the Council. The feedback from the team was incredible and everyone came away with new practical skills that could be put into action.

Facilitated workshops with c-suite decision makers

Sometimes you need the space to think through strategic decisions. We help clients to reach conclusions and consensus through creating and running workshops. Using an independent facilitator will help you to challenge assumptions, unblock progress and develop breakthrough ideas.

Our workshops are specifically designed to be participatory, interactive and action-orientated. They’re facilitated by our senior design strategists who’ve extensive experience in enabling collaboration and co-creation.

We tailor each workshop to your individual needs. Whether it’s for a small executive team or a large-scale consultation across your entire staff. Be it in-person or online. We use design to create the right environment for you to explore the most pressing topics facing your organisation.

Each workshop includes an initial briefing call, design of the session (which you’ll get to collaborate on and review), creation of assets for activities, a pre-workshop workbook sent to participants, facilitation of the sessions, and a follow up call and write-up documenting decisions made.

Email us to discuss your next workshop.

Once we know your requirements we can provide costs.

We also offer inspirational conferences and retreats for all levels of the design community.
