Driving Organisational Effectiveness Through Employee Experience
A 1-Day Learning Programme by Dept of Design, IIT Hyderabad
March 28-29, 2026 at IIT Hyderabad Campus
Organisations today operate in environments defined by volatility, complexity, hybrid work, and rising employee expectations. While strategy, technology, and structure remain essential, they no longer guarantee sustained performance.
Effectiveness now depends on how work is experienced; how seamlessly people collaborate, decide, access information, and execute. Employee Experience has emerged as a strategic lever linking organisational intent to measurable outcomes.
This intensive 1-day executive programme delivers 10 high-impact diagnostic and intervention tools that enable leaders to systematically assess and elevate employee experience; equipping them with a practical framework to drive performance in just one powerful day.

immersive experience
The programme is built on a learning-by-doing philosophy. Participants actively work on real organisational situations using structured tools rather than engaging in passive discussions alone.
Participants work through ten interconnected modules, each supported by a dedicated tool or canvas.
By the end of the programme, participants leave with a practical toolkit of ten methods that can be applied immediately in organisational, consulting, academic, or leadership contexts.
