What makes us different & where we add value

changing behaviour

MOST TRAINING OR E-LEARNING PROVIDERS DELIVER OUTCOMES AT SURFACE LEVELS 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: THE SHORT-TERM MEMORY TEST

BACK TO SCHOOL. THE DREADED MULTIPLE-CHOICE TEST THAT YOU IMMEDIATELY FORGET. (HOW MANY QUESTIONS CAN YOU GUESS OFF THE BAT?)

THAT IS NOT ENOUGH!

WE BELIEVE IN ORDER TO DRIVE VERIFIABLE BEHAVIOUR CHANGE AND DELIVER REAL VALUE IN ORGANISATIONS, YOU MUST GO BENEATH THE SURFACE. THIS IS WHY OUR METHOD ALWAYS INCLUDES TWO ADDITIONAL STEPS:

3: BEHAVIOURS

WITHOUT BEHAVIOURS ANY TRAINING IS A “TICK BOX” EXERCISE. CHANGE HAPPENS THROUGH ACTION. 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.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING FOR ORGANISATIONS WHO WANT MORE THAN JUST TICK-BOX TRAINING.

WE CRAFT BOLD, IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES DESIGNED TO CHALLENGE THINKING, SHIFT BEHAVIOURS, AND DELIVER MEASURABLE, LASTING TRANSFORMATION.

NO PASSIVE LECTURES. JUST ENGAGING, SURPRISING, AND PLAYFUL LEARNING THAT GETS UNDER THE SKIN. BECAUSE WE REMEMBER WHAT MAKES US FEEL ALIVE.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Any organisation looking for high-impact training that truly changes behaviour — that’s who we work with.

    But if you’re only looking for training or e-learning to tick off your employees’ yearly compliance record, or if a certificate is all you want, we’re not the right company for you.

    If that’s not the case — and you’re ready to go beyond the basics — whether you’re in tech, finance, healthcare, public services, or any other sector, we’re here to create something extraordinary for you.

  • Simple. Book a call, and let’s explore how we can drive change together.

  • No. Everything we do is tailored to your needs. If you want a pre -packaged solution, e-learning platform, video-library, AI-bot badly simulating humans, survey, or branded certificate, there’ll be other training providers that can help you.

  • Something no AI platform can ever give you — a truly human experience, led by skilled professionals.

    An immersive simulation is a hands-on, interactive way to learn by doing. It places people in realistic, high-pressure situations where they must think fast, solve problems, and make smart decisions.

    We draw inspiration from theatre and the dramatic arts to design experiences that are engaging, emotional, and unforgettable. These simulations help teams build skills that transfer directly to real workplace challenges — and we have the experience and results to prove it.

  • We can run experiences in-person, online, or hybrid - wherever they’ll be most effective.

  • Our training goes beyond theory — participants take part, experiment, and put their learning into action. This leads to better understanding, stronger teamwork, and sharper problem-solving skills that make a real difference across the organisation.
