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 a single or multiple practices. From day one, they work on practical, outcome-based projects within an Agile Sprint construct.

We work closely with our clients, co-creating solutions to address your unique challenges. For instance, we’ve established Pods focused on integrating data and AI into business operations. Whether you need a team or individual talent, our consultants can integrate seamlessly into your business and start adding value immediately.

Coach testimonial

Our experiential learning empowers consultants with hands-on problem-solving skills and encourages us to embrace agility and adaptability. The practical experience showcases their potential and better prepares them for the dynamic challenges of the workplace.

Consultant testimonial

The Skills Lab enabled us to learn Java from an experienced coach, who guided us through a banking project, so we could immediately implement the knowledge we were gaining. This project greatly helped with my understanding and skills in Java and in the full stack development process.
