FAQs
How is a Bespoke Academy different from your other solutions?
A Bespoke Academy is a development program of a longer duration (3-18 months), aimed at achieving a set of strategic development objectives for a select group of professionals. To do this, we draw upon all of the tools in our toolbelt, such as Virtual Workshops, Corporate Retreat Boot Camp, Smart Courses, in-person training, learning videos, back-at-work tasks, company-wide and large-scale projects, simulations, coaching, questionnaires. This and much, much more, all tailored to your needs.
A Virtual Workshop is an intense, one-off synchronous training event of short duration (8-24 hours, split into a series of 4-hour sessions) that is aimed at quickly up-skilling professionals on a certain topic or serving as a learning refresher.
A Smart Course is an asynchronous development program, of medium duration (2-8 weeks), aimed at immersing professionals in edutaining personalized content and self-directed learning paths, in order to master a specific topic, completely customized to their personality and behavioral style. Smart Courses include: personalized videos, back-at-work tasks, assignments, coaching messages, simulations, and other mechanics.
A Corporate Retreat Boot Camp is an in-person, team development intervention, taking place in our Cyprus training grounds. There, we take professionals through a targeted workout of communication, inter-reliance, and self-management, by immersing them in outdoor, team problem-solving exercises that surface the behaviors we want to address. As such, the Boot Camp’s agenda is constantly being adapted to professionals’ progress through the exercises. And this is how we offer real-time assessment and development of each professional’s unique needs.
Why do I need this?
You’ve already defined your strategic HR objectives, but this time round, you are looking for a different way to bring them to life.
You’ve probably been searching for something that “changes things up” in how you handle long-term, scalable, and strategic development initiatives. You want to do more than up-skill your professionals. You want to see direct impact immediately and tie things back to work in a systematic way. And you want to have a way of measuring impact.
You are in the right place. Get to know our work and how we can help you by scheduling an introductory consultation with our team.
What does getting started look like?
The entire process from “interest” to “launch” of a program, typically takes 2-3 months, depending on your vendor approval process. Here’s an overview of the main steps:

- Step 2: We discuss your internal communication activity as it pertains to Senior Leadership buy-in.
- Step 3: Begin vendor approval process, NDAs, contract, etc.
- Step 4: Design of academy (timeline & touch-points).
- Step 5: Approval of design and commencement of onboarding logistics
- Step 6: Launch
