WHY ATTEND THE KAOSPILOT EXPERIENCE DESIGN TRAINING?

This training is aimed to help you create multiple layers of value in every experience you design.


  • Kaospilot Experience Design teaches a toolbox, with simple steps to help you get ahead with unique and decisive experience offerings.
  • You will be able to design and stage powerful and meaningful experiences, emotions and stories – and you will learn how to attach them authentically to marketing, communication, products, services and brands in ways that create unique value for both business and customer.
  • You will learn and train hands-on - together with a group of international professionals and accompanied by one experienced mentor assisting you through the BLENDED journey.
  • You will be using experience design and design thinking to solve, in teams, your real-life wicked challenges and see directly the ultimate benefits.
  • This unique immersive program is an experience of its own led by the KAOSPILOT approach: One can only design meaningful experiences if one knows of the power of true experiences. It is all about self-awareness, a human-centered approach and matching how the same experience can have different facets and effects on different people.


You will leave this training more confident in your ability to lead organizations towards what is truly meaningful!

TESTIMONIALS:

The Kaospilot Experience Design Immersion stands out as probably the best 3 days of training or professional education that I've ever undertaken.

  • Kate Holzman, Deputy Director of Direct Impact, Echoing Green


I wanted to book this course because I wanted to get some input on a topic I never had really thought about and I don’t use in my daily life. You get a lot of facts about design thinking, but you also have practical parts where you really plan an experience together with your team in teamwork and you learn how to do that step by step. On top you have a lot of moments in which you can reflect on what you learned and also how you feel about these experiences. I really enjoyed the course.
  • Katharina van Zeller, Co-Founder of Dreikreis and participant at KPXD Austria 2019


Learning about the potential of transformational experience design and now applying it to my daily work is helping transform our organization!

  • Daniele, Brand Experience Manager, Volkswagen


The Kaospilot experience design workshop helped our teams gain a different perspective on what it means to design meaningful experiences. What is it that really matters? How does it feel? What does it change? It was both inspirational and motivating.

  • Patrick Schenck, adidas


I came to this course with an idea of how to use culture & experiences as a driver of integration between all the parts and people of the company I am a part of running. I left with a fantastic experience concept, and now I am back in São Paulo making it a reality with my Brazilian team. ...in short: a life changing experience!

The most valuable course I ever joined…

More information:

This immersion will be hosted in the wonderful Burg Feistritz castle. You can see more here:

https://www.burgfeistritz.com

Burg Feistritz is located only 80 km south of Vienna and is embedded in the rolling hills of Lower Austria. The history of Burg Feistritz dates back to the Middle Ages, when the castle was built as a defensive structure. Massive walls, towers and canons are reminiscent of this time long past. Centuries of development, private restoration and cultural prosperity have transformed Burg Feistritz into the noble and inviting castle of the present day.


The beauty and serenity of the historic scenery and the abundance of comfortable guest rooms form a perfect environment for creative get-togethers, for reflection and for exchange of ideas. Surrounded by romantic landscape gardens, woodlands and ponds, Burg Feistritz is a peaceful and secluded hideaway for groups in search of a special location.



ACCOMODATION:

Depending on the actual participant number our accommodation options will be either based in the castle or the manor houses in stone-throwing distance to the castle.

Shared room fee (same sex) - EUR 340,- +VAT

For those who don't mind sharing a room with other course participants in a beautiful modern apartment.

Private room fee - EUR 360,- +VAT

For those who want a little more privacy.

FACILITATOR & HOST TEAM: MICHAEL LIEHMANN

Michael originally focused his education on computer science, but soon realized that humans are much more complex, and exciting than machines ever will be. In his work, Michael tries to transform the complexity of people and their working situations through simple and creative approaches in motion. He is often inspired by modern artists and their works, the tension between the digital and the analog world and the wide world of emotions.


This is also the core of the cooperation with the Experience Design group of Kaospilots. The logical and unconditional focus on the emotional aspect in people's experiences and / or gatherings mirrors in a wonderful natural way with the hands-on approach of Michael. Michael collaborates with KaosPilot on organising and hosting their Experience Design Professional Program in Austria.
