Ambition Empower is a subscription service where thought-leaders in UX, service design, and product design helps you and your team to grow. It is optimized for your busy life, allowing you to spend as little as one hour per week, and still stay ahead of the competition.
Check out the different tracks, and select which one(s) to follow.
Spend just one hour per week with curated content or live collaborative sessions.
Grow as an individual, with your team, and with all Empower members.
Each Empower track is divided into 4-week-long topics. A topic on the Design Research track can, e.g., cover how to improve collaboration with stakeholders, and a topic on the AI and Design track can, e.g., cover how to use Large Language Models as a designer.
By choosing tracks and topics aligned with your business priorities and personal interests, you can customize your learning experience. This ensures you gain the knowledge and skills to benefit your organization and help you grow.
