Private training for your organization

Empower your entire organization to be more creative and collaborative by teaching design thinking skills to all teams.

A common language for collaboration

Human-centered design can help us solve a variety of problems. Maybe your product team isn’t getting things to market quickly enough. Maybe your marketing team is having trouble connecting with key audiences. Or maybe you just want your organization to communicate and collaborate better. Human-centered design is a tangible, repeatable approach to solving these challenges and just about any real-world, everyday problem. And the LUMA System of Innovation is your shared playbook for learning this proven way of working. 

Even better, once we teach you the fundamentals, you can scale these skills across your entire organization. We won’t make you rely on our services to do your best work: we give you the tools and training you need to flourish via certification programs. We are a catalyst, not a consultancy.

We break it down into three phases

We teach you

We’ll work with you to identify a group of internal stakeholders and influencers who will be champions for your organization’s innovation program. Our world-class instructors will teach them to become more confident and capable problem solvers and train them to be the first group of Certified Practitioners.

We teach together

Then, we’ll identify individuals who want to go deeper and become instructors. These folks will become highly skilled co-instructors who will teach the rest of your teams alongside LUMA professionals. Together, they will lead dynamic and engaging workshops with more people across the organization.

You teach yourselves

This is our favorite part. Ultimately, a fully prepared team of internal instructors will take over the program and teach human-centered design to the rest of the organization. We love watching our partners become totally self-sufficient – the magic happens when your teams are truly empowered to work independently.

Certification programs

LUMA certification programs provide a structured, supportive way for people to develop confidence using the LUMA System, so you can solve problems creatively and design solutions people love.
