OUR APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
What makes us different & where we add value
Most training or e-learning providers deliver outcomes at
surface level 1 & 2.
1: THE BIASED POST-EVENT SURVEY
Did you enjoy the training on a scale from 1-5?
(and most importantly – were the sandwiches any good?)
2: SHORT-TERM MEMORY
Back to school. The dreaded multiple-choice test that you immediately forget. How many questions can you guess of the bat?
That is not enough!
We believe in order to drive verifiable behaviour change and deliver real value in organisations, you must go further.
This is why our method always includes two additional steps:
3: BEHAVIOURS
Without “doing” any training is a “tick box” exercise. Change happens through behaviour. That’s why we use evidence-based cognitive tools and practice-based techniques from the world of immersive theatre.
4: SIMULATIONS
Any training that aims to spark behaviour change has to be oriented on real-world applications. That’s why we use our award-winning expertise in crafting visceral, realistic and fun simulations, that create lasting impact and memories.
We don’t believe in passive learning.
Change happens when people engage, challenge their thinking, and actively take part. Our approach is built on three core pillars:
We combine the best of the creative and scientific worlds to deliver transformative experiences. Our methods draw from organisational psychology, management science & immersive theatre.
We design immersive scenarios that are tailored to your organisation, blending realism with creativity to create lasting change.
Your team will be placed in an interactive and realistic environment where they:
Take ownership of their actions
Test behaviours in realistic, high-pressure scenarios
Gain real insights into how they respond as individuals and teams
Learn to adapt and collaborate under evolving conditions

We don’t just deliver knowledge. We create experiences that challenge, involve, and transform how people think.
1.
Experience creates understanding
People don’t change through instruction alone—they change when they do. We create immersive, high-stakes scenariosthat make learning tangible, memorable, and actionable.
2.
Participation Drives Transformation
Real learning happens through interaction, not observation. We design environments where people engage, react, and solve challenges together, making the learning process active and impactful.
3.
Change is a process
Transformation isn’t instant—it requires reinforcement. We ensure new behaviours stick through practical application, strategic follow-ups, and ongoing engagement.
