Integration Session

Managers share what they tried, what changed and where they got stuck. The same facilitator coaches the cohort, so everyone knows how to keep applying it.

One gap. One Lab.See the impact in three weeks.

How we build every program

Every program starts with Discovery to find out real challnages

Before a single session is designed, we map your real challenges, your language, and your context. Every scenario in every Lab is built around a problem your people actually face — not a generic case study.

How we measure impact

ㅤWe measure what people do differently in their work, not who turned up.

We look beyond attendance and satisfaction to understand whether people have built the confidence, capability, applied it in role and changed how they work.

Measurement includes:

· Capability baseline
· Real-work Mission completion
· Before-and-after capability growth
· Participant and facilitator feedback
· Organisational barriers and insights
· Post-program impact report

I can’t speak highly enough about our collaboration with Affinity Space. We had a specific need – four levels of leadership programs custom-built for UiPath managers and leaders. The team at Affinity Space went above and beyond in their discovery of our needs and designed social learning programs that our leaders found contextualised and engaging. Affinity acted as a true strategic partner.

I can't recommend Affinity Space high enough. We have partnered with them for years and have only ever received positive feedback from our leaders. They are quick to iterate, improve and our people love how they deliver such interactive experiences. The Affinity facilitators are incredible - we love them at IATA.

The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive positive from all directors. We also received feedback from a non-participant that they heard the Labs were amazing so the word is spreading across the organisation.

Collaborating with Affinity Space on our HiPo leadership development programs was a fantastic experience. I appreciated their ability and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure the program was designed to our needs and current context. They took the time to deeply understand our business and our leaders. The result was a highly relevant and impactful program. Their partnership felt seamless – and the feedback from our leaders has been outstanding.

Partnering with Affinity Space on our leadership programme was a standout experience. They deeply understood the challenges of transitioning technical experts into people leaders and designed a journey that felt practical, rigorous and relevant. The balance of structured frameworks, peer learning and real-world application created genuine behaviour change. Most importantly, we now have a shared leadership language across regions and the feedback from our leaders has been exceptional.

Ways to work together

ㅤStart with your most pressing challenge. Scale from there.

Start with one challenge, or plan a longer journey across several skills.

One Lab
Target one specific leadership or AI-related challenge.

One cohort. Three weeks. Four facilitated hours, plus a real-work Mission.
Case Study: Confluent

‍
One Lab for managers spread across locations, focused on building trust and accountability in their remote teams.
A Connected Series
Build several related capabilities over a quarter or longer.



Each Lab works on its own, and the skills build on each other over the series.
Case Study: Bolt
‍
‍Three Labs across one quarter for their manager population building a connected capability thread - psychological safety first, then effective feedback, then strategic thinking.
A Structured Curriculum
A complete program for one leadership level or priority.

We design the capability architecture, sequence the Labs and build measurement in from day one.
Case Study: Take-Two (2K)

‍
‍7 Labs over 9 months. Two global cohorts. Self-awareness, navigating conflict, decision-making, cross-functional influence, leading through change, strategic thinking.
FAQ

Straight answers to the questions we hear most before a Lab begins.

01
How fast can a Lab actually launch?

A Lab can typically launch within three weeks of the first conversation, depending on availability and the scope of Discovery.

02
Do you customise the Labs?

Yes. The core capability remains consistent, but the scenarios, language, discussion and Mission are adapted to your organisation.

03
What does "applied in role" mean?

Participants use the capability on a live workplace challenge between sessions. They return with evidence, questions and insight from what happened.

04
How do you measure whether it worked?

We combine baseline and follow-up capability assessments, Mission completion, participant and facilitator insight and evidence of behaviour change.

05
What's the commitment for one Lab?

One Lab and no long-term commitment. Once impact is proven, we can connect it to a broader series or curriculum.

06
How much does a lab cost?

Investment starts at £475 per participant per Lab.
