Immersions
Immersive Learning Experiences
Real Experience. Real Learning.
Immersive Learning Experiences are intensive, hands-on programs designed to spark new thinking, deepen leadership capability, and catalyze innovation.
Through curated site visits, interactive workshops, and facilitated reflection, these experiences engage participants with new systems, ideas, and ways of working across diverse global and local contexts.
Facilitated by ID faculty and expert practitioners, our immersions take place in locations selected for the richness of learning they offer—from urban innovation districts to rural communities and academic settings.
Who is it for?
- Senior government leaders, policy makers, and transformation leads
- Corporate innovation teams and L&D leaders
- Cross-functional groups exploring systems change
What makes it unique?
- Place-based learning: Participants engage with communities, systems, and practices in diverse settings.
- Ideas in action: Learn from a range of organizations tackling pressing challenges with design, data, and dialogue.
- Facilitated reflection and application: Guided debriefs turn experiences into insights—and insights into action.
- Customization: Every detail—from location to learning arc—is shaped in collaboration with your organization.
