About 180º Academy
We are a praxis oriented academy in people-centered concept making. We educate organisations, (not individuals alone), on the ability to develop, design and execute on radical business concepts.
Our mission is to develop concept-making talent in large and small companies by building competencies to succeed in a global world. We do this by combining theory with praxis in a cross-disciplinary programme allowing students to understand the innovation process from an integrated whole and to understand what it takes to create concepts from a people-driven perspective. We educate not only individuals but organisations through a unique programme that provides companies with immediate return on investment (ROI).
Concept making comes from a deep understanding of the needs and solutions found in the lives of people and their communities. The 180º notion of concept can refer to tangible and non-tangible products or services in both the private and public sector, but it can also refer to organizational change or even the innovation process itself. Students will learn the art of concept making with real people, real challenges and real concepts.
We revolutionise traditional education by combining students with different competencies and thinking styles. Our academic programme is built on four important pillars of innovation – Collect, Create, Commercialise and Collaborate.
