New chapter, new paths

The merger to form the HPI d-school

HPI Academy is now called HPI d–school – Professional Development

Since the beginning of 2023, we have been in transformation mode: We have dissolved HPI Academy GmbH and integrated it into the Professional Development division of HPI d–school: An important milestone has been reached. This fusion not only means a structural change, but also affects all levels of our actions. A new management team, an expanded portfolio of services, optimized processes and, above all, increased collaboration between Academic Programs, Professional Development and Design Thinking Research are just some of the visible changes.

Design thinking as a guide

For over 15 years, the HPI d–school has stood for the promotion of design thinking as the key to innovation and transformation processes. Our core competence helps us in our own transformation and our human-centered design principles are the compass for our own journey of re-design. The design thinking mindset – from people-centricity to understanding problems, collaborating in diverse teams and embracing uncertainty – is crucial to navigating the uncertainties of transformation.

The past few years have been characterized by great success. We would like to thank our dedicated students and professionals, the creative and passionate HPI d–school team and our partners. But we know that innovation is not possible without change. That is why we are combining our strengths in teaching, professional development and research into a new chapter – the HPI d–school.

Crafting Tomorrow – Imagine, Innovation, Impact

Our new slogan “Crafting Tomorrow – Imagine, Innovation, Impact” at the interface between people and technology symbolizes our commitment to actively shaping the future. We will continue to be pioneers by tackling the challenges of tomorrow and showing new ways to find solutions.

So stay tuned!
