Illumination Academy

 

The Illumination Academy offers teams new methods to tackle complex challenges that inject energy, embrace change, and identify new opportunities for innovation.

By providing design-oriented processes to those at the frontline, teams can generate the necessary solutions to tackle systemic issues.

The Illumination Academy is a five-week program that will teach teams systemic design tools, connect them with design coaches, and provide them with an opportunity to share their solutions with attendees at the i4 conference on November 2, 2023.
