Lab days

A team engaged in an immersive Umami Lab Day: participants using creative building blocks and a whiteboard for hands-on experimentation and skill-building.
A space for experimentation: Umami Lab Days allow teams to step out of routine and try new collaboration patterns through immersive, hands-on simulations.

Umami Lab Days: Immersive learning and team experimentation

Umami Lab Days are deep-dive learning experiences - one- or multiple-day intensives where teams and individuals can experiment, train, and reset their ways of working.

Each lab is custom-designed around your specific goals: whether that is building new skill sets, addressing recurring tensions, or refreshing collaboration after a period of significant change.

Safe experimentation through hands-on learning

This is a space for safe experimentation. Using interactive exercises, simulations, and experiential tools, participants learn through active doing followed by structured reflection. It is a place where teams can step out of the daily grind, test new interaction patterns, and return to work with renewed energy and clarity.

The value of an immersive Lab Day

  • Practical tools: Gain applied knowledge that translates directly into your daily workflow.
  • Shared language: Develop a common vocabulary to resolve conflicts and align on goals.
  • Mindset reset: Rebuild motivation and confidence through successful group experimentation.
