Join an ecosystem of coaches and subject matter experts and form cross-functional teams ready to drive success for our clients from day one.

Traditional learning methods often lack the practical applications crucial for developing the skills our clients need. Dive into hands-on scenarios that mirror real-world challenges in our experiential learning model. This provides:

How the Skills Lab uses experiential learning

Our Pods are key to upskilling our consultants. An FDM Pod refers to a cross-functional team of consultants working collaboratively to develop, test and run a project. Our Pods can include consultants from one or more practices. From day one, they work on practical, outcome-based projects within an Agile Sprint construct.
