I was looking for a course that made sense for the client. Strategic design was recommended to me by a colleague and I do not regret it. No waste of time with theories, but practice, questions, concrete answers. Prepare in advance and in training you will try everything. I like that the trainers really live it up and pass on real-life experiences.

I went to the course because I needed a change. Training has broadened my horizons where I didn't expect it at all. The videos before the course were great. Thanks to them, I made the most of the meeting. The biggest aha moment? Pauses. I've learned that there's nowhere to rush. I would recommend this training to all traders right away.

I needed to better manage processes and work with people. Strategic design helped me see context and meaning in the details as well. He showed me how to engage a team and exploit its potential. Thanks to training, I immediately improved the facilitation of workshops, learned to read the reactions of colleagues and respond better to them. He's been very beneficial to me.

I wanted to improve as a designer. The training showed me how to move through the entire design process, most of all in facilitation. I realized that if I improved the facilitation of the workshops, I would also increase the confidence of my workshop participants in me. This will improve my position in the company and in the team. Design is not about designing, it is about collaborating with others with whom we create value together.

The strategic design was groundbreaking for me. He taught me to see my strengths and weaknesses, to understand myself and others, and to move forward in design. Today I know what I want to do and how to improve. I recommend it to anyone who wants to be better.

Intense. He's direct. It's open. It's clear. It's casual. It's online. He's alive. Team and individual. Stylish. I'm carrying a load of new practical information. Perfect pulling your head out of the sand. Training is not about drawing in Figma. It's about design before you embark on drawing. About design before design. It's about understanding what you're doing, why you're doing it and where you want to go.

I wasn't sure if Strategic Design would benefit me as a sales director as well. In the end, it was a hit in the black. We focused on specific skills that I can immediately start using in practice. I learned to create and pass assignments better — a crucial step in internal cooperation. And thanks to efficient data collection and problem solving, I already see improvements in communication with colleagues and partners.

Strategic design has helped me change the way I think as well as work. It gave me a completely different perspective on the strategy and the steps that need to be done before the technical part of the project. It is training for all those who want to achieve results and advance their project or business... and turn their dreams into reality.

I wanted to do more than just draw nice pictures. I wanted to get a strategic perspective on design, to have a bigger picture, to think about it differently. The training showed me how to do it differently, how I can do design even better. He gave me a lot of little things — facilitation, AI, sense-making — that I can transfer directly into the real world into my practice.

At each meeting, we had to go through videos with theory, which we then followed up with concrete practice. That was super efficient and effective to learn something. The Q&A was also great after each meeting, where we could discuss anything and Jan answered us from the point of view of his agency and experience. So even in areas where I thought I wouldn't learn much new anymore, it moved me quite a bit. This training took my head out of the sand.

I was afraid that as a more experienced designer I would not take much away from training. I have acquired a wealth of knowledge and know-how that I will benefit from for years to come. With facilitation techniques, I even found that I still have large gaps and can move a lot. House uses modern teaching techniques, where we have the theory ahead of time and in meetings we no longer waste time with it, we go straight to practice. That was great.

I used to just suggest. Now I lead the whole design process. The training gave me the tools to facilitate as well as smart use of AI. He taught me to ask the right questions, conduct research, and the whole project. He showed me how to influence people's behavior. I left with a bunch of ideas. We have used some of them in our clients' projects. It was intense. And groundbreaking. It changed the way I work.

The training was really pure practice. No frontal teaching. The biggest benefit for me was the strategy and business part. I thought I was already at a higher level in this area, thanks to Honza I had the opportunity to move much further.

Two years ago I started my own business. I thought a lot of things needed that I know my customer. I didn't know him. And other things I didn't know either, I just thought them. Today, thanks to Strategic Design training, I know how to do research and really get to know my customer, I know how to get the necessary background to make the right decisions, I know how to validate my ideas efficiently and inexpensively, I know how to deal better with stakeholders in my client projects, I know better how to help myself with AI. It's time to gradually put new knowledge into practice and solve complex problems based on data, not intuition.

In training, we learned how to effectively solve complex problems. On the basis of data and without unnecessary waste. I take away a number of techniques that I can immediately use in practice. Design probes, frameworks, facilitation, presentation and idea generation.

Strategic design is like a party mix, where you just pick the themes that take you the furthest. It's a kind of accelerator for designers - completing it will make a lot of situations you'll deal with as a designer much easier in the future.

For years I worked intuitively in design. The training gave me a new way of looking at design as a business tool - and now I'm starting to work on my first design probe. The investment I made in the training has only paid off in saved time before the end.

At Strategic Design you will learn things that you will not learn at any other course in the Czech Republic. You will learn how to think about them. And how the big boys and girls do design.

I would rename this training to "Designer in 5 weeks". Because during each brisk workshop, you'll learn the entire design process - including methods, frameworks, and everything you need to be a designer. We had plenty of room for questions, the workshop on sense-making and incorporating AI into the design process was great.

Strategic design is a source of ideas, inspiration, guidance and a time-consuming hobby for a few weeks, with overlap into the next few years. Seeing the whole design process was very crucial and important to me.

Strategic design is not really training for designers at all. It's training for owners/managers who solve hard business problems day in and day out that they don't have enough information or time to crack. It's a very practical infusion of methods, tips and experience. As a result of the training, I've turnaround 3 steamroller better workshops, pushed through two major changes on projects that I couldn't argue away for a long time, had much better and richer outputs from one series of in-depth conversations with a really tough target, created 2 custom frameworks and changed around a dozen smaller things in my daily workflow, namely started reflecting more. Not bad at all for 2 months of work. For that, after most of the training, one doesn't change anything at all. So friends, I recommend it. And especially if you are solving complex business problems.

Thanks for a great course. It was an investment that will pay me back 100x in the future. I learned more in 5 weeks than I have in the last two years.

The training is worth it! Sense-making workshop, opportunity solution tree, frameworks... It was great to put theory into practice. Plus, we got the theory in videos that we could watch when it was convenient for us. The cherry on top was the great facilitation of the training by the designers from House.

Strategic design is a must-have for designers. One of the most important parts of training for me was stakeholder management, influence tactics and emotional resilience. In our company, I will use a few of the things we discussed.

If you want to start thinking strategically and stop jumping at the first idea that comes to mind, go for Strategic Design by House of Cutter. It will teach you how to deal with the real essentials.

Strategic design is like a cookbook for a designer. If you don't know how to improve as a designer and where to go, this course is the place to come to it.

It was the most pro course I've ever experienced. Totally exceeded my expectations. Great was the participation of participants in workshops, where we tried everything for ourselves, the use of AI in design, professional facilitation and sharing of resources where I can draw more information. I did not have much previous experience with design and this course for me was a practical guide to the life of a designer. It's just a pity that there were no more training sessions!

The training is challenging and has moved me many times in developing my design competencies. He helped me prepare and facilitate workshops. He helped me speed up my design work thanks to AI. And the discussion about how to be more emotionally resilient and where to recharge my batteries helped me a lot.

Strategic design is priceless for designers and managers. It was crucial for me that Jan explained the topics to us on specific cases, including our projects. This training is definitely the right way towards UX.
