Senior Business Analyst, Verisk
Within three months of finishing Digital Minds Embed, I found myself building AI agents to solve a training problem truly focused my customer’s needs.
Senior Talent Partner, Markel
The EDII journey was a challenging, insightful, and fulfilling experience. I observed many members of the cohort gaining knowledge and applying the tools and techniques taught during the course. Most importantly, the EDII team provided a flexible curriculum that enabled the cohort to build confidence both individually and as a group.
Senior Operations Analyst, Liberty Specialty Markets
Straight after the showcase I found myself stepping in to facilitate a client workshop. The Design Thinking methodology around emphasising and eliciting insights was crucial to get to the heart of the key challenges those clients were experiencing, and help to position us to solve them together.
Climate & Strategy Manager, AXA XL
Being exposed to different career paths and industry specialists broadened my horizons.
IT Support Engineer, Atrium
On a recent POC, I paused the team from jumping into delivery and instead directed the focus on problem framing, defining hypothesis and stakeholder mapping using Digital Minds Embed techniques. That shift in approach led to clear alignment and immediate validation from the business.

The insurance industry’s leading innovation capability-building programmes
AAMC
The Evolve programme was an engaging and highly practical experience. The combination of design thinking methodologies and a real insurance case study made the content both valuable and immediately applicable. The facilitators created an inclusive environment that encouraged discussion, challenged conventional thinking, and drew on rich industry experience. I particularly enjoyed connecting with professionals from across the insurance ecosystem, gaining diverse perspectives on common challenges, and hearing from industry leaders. I left with new insights, valuable connections, and practical tools to drive innovation in my work.
Strategy & Partnerships, QBE Ventures
Head of Exposure Management Oversight, Lloyd’s
Huge thanks to the EDII team and expert coaches for an energising, thought-provoking, and action-oriented experience. Feeling inspired and ready to drive meaningful change!
Change Manager, HDI Global SE
Digital Minds Evolve was two days genuinely grounded in insurance, not generic innovation theory. The frameworks are practical enough to take straight back into a live transformation programme, and the room itself was the other half of the value: senior leaders from across the market being honest about what’s working with AI and what isn’t. I left with better tools and better questions, and a peer network I’ll actually use. Highly recommend it for anyone leading change in insurance.
Programme Manager, IAG
The Artificial Labs team had an incredible experience at EDII’s Digital Minds Evolve programme. Over two days, we tackled a realistic insurance market case study, explored strategic innovation, and advance our design thinking skills. With expert coaching, hands-on learning, and valuable networking, the experience was both insightful and impactful. We’re excited to embed these takeaways into our everyday work. Thank you, EDII, for an inspiring and transformative programme!

Aisha Olalemi Amode
UK Transformation Director at JLL
“EDII provided a learning programme for a 100-strong cohort of innovators across JLL. We chose EDII because we’ve seen how well they equip their other clients to think and act innovatively.
The approach by Caroline Bedford and the EDII team was hugely consultative. We greatly benefited from their experience both in innovation and personal development. EDII enabled and empowered us to customise the training programme. We really got the feeling that they were on our side, and rooting for us when planning the content. In fact, EDII worked with us so closely to understand our business it felt as if the training was delivered by JLL This helped us land the initiative much more effectively.
EDII’s training on human-centred design thinking has transformed the way our innovators approach problems. In addition, their productivity training has also helped our innovators give back time to colleagues – a key initiative in JLL. Delegates loved the interactive EDII training experience, particularly the collaborative sessions using digital tools such as Mural.
We’ve noticed how delegates on EDII training modules gain confidence to actively contribute to projects and enthusiastically collaborate with colleagues. After every EDII training session, we definitely see a spike in productivity and engagement with the programme.
I would definitely recommend EDII for training in design thinking and innovation.”
