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.

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.

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.

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!

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.”
