Part of the Create Growth Programme, this programme is delivered in association with industry influencers and major film studios, providing insight into service procurement and trends.
What are the outcomes? You will build business value, developing and implementing plans to create exceptional customer experience, collaboration and innovation. As a direct result of working together, businesses from our pilot programme have won new contracts, are developing new services and have secured external funding.
The learning experience: Through curated and facilitated group exercises, you will be taught to use the tools, templates and processes used by the world’s leading brands to create value - applying design thinking to your business. Results include enhanced services, new collaborations, and new contract wins.
You will learn from business growth experts at Estu and the Service Design team that have contributed to the RCA being ranked Number 1* globally for Art and Design teaching for the last eight years. To achieve this, RCA consistently placed ahead of 249 other institutions including MIT, Stanford, Yale, NYU, University of Oxford, University of Tokyo and Design School Kolding, Denmark.
You will be joined by industry guest speakers and executives from the programme's studio partners, sharing experiences, building relationships and gaining unique insight into commercial opportunities in the Film and TV Production sector.
The programme includes three face-to-face workshops to facilitate networking culminating in the programme’s grand finale at the new facilities of Sky Studios Elstree.
