DUO's Academy supports clients who want to undertake transformation independently. We help identify the right learning programmes and offer guidance on cloud platforms, technology operating models, and innovative digital products — so the architecture survives long after we have walked away.
Most consulting firms have a perverse incentive: the more dependent the client, the better the renewal. DUO's Academy is built on the opposite premise. If the architecture cannot run without us, we have not finished the job.
One-to-one and team coaching for enterprise architects, programme directors, and engineering leaders inside your organisation. Our coaches are senior practitioners who have led the same kinds of programmes your team is now leading. The format is tailored — typically a recurring rhythm of working sessions, real-engagement reviews, and capability gap-filling.
We design and deliver bespoke learning programmes for in-house architecture teams, including:
Beyond formal learning, the Academy provides ongoing advisory access for clients building or maturing their own internal architecture and engineering functions — covering operating-model design, hiring criteria, governance forums, and the practices that determine whether a function operates well or merely exists.
"They taught my team out of needing them. That is not a metaphor — it is the brief we hired them on."
Academy engagements are typically structured as a multi-quarter retainer with a senior coach or mentor, supplemented by structured learning blocks. Many engagements run alongside an active Enterprise Advisory or Enterprise Enablement programme — the Academy is what ensures the client team can run the outcome of the programme on their own.
Whether you need executive coaching, structured learning, or operating-model guidance — talk to a director.
