We continuously evaluate our programs through the widely used Net Promoter Score measurement, asking two questions: how likely participants would be to recommend LUMA to a peer or colleague and why? LUMA programs consistently average an NPS of 70, reflecting a world-class experience.
Vibrant and engaged participants
Our public programs typically draw a lively mix of people from business, non-profits, government and education, all eager to be more innovative. We limit attendance to ensure an optimal learning environment.
You’ll work in teams and gain new perspectives (and new contacts) from the people you meet, and they’ll learn from you! You may be surprised at who you’re sitting next to — we’ve had participants from Google, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Gates Foundation, American Express, IBM, Harvard and many other companies and organizations of all types, sizes and sectors
Training for enterprise organizations
Organizations that want to build design thinking capability across their teams work with LUMA to create unique programs that can include certification programs for practitioners, facilitators and instructors, online courses for focused topics, and on-demand tools and resources.
We work to understand each organization’s challenges, goals and constraints, then co-design a unique program.
