xplus Academy is your go-to partner to level up your team.
Count on our broad training options and seasoned experts to help your IT and Business Architects thrive.
From general and specialized training programs to hands-on coaching on the floor, xplus Academy has everything you need to upskill a single architect or shape a high-performing team. We provide the building blocks to boost competencies and stay ahead.
Our Lean 6+1 Architecture Practice Framework and Architectural Competencies Framework (xplus Compass) equip your team with the knowledge, skills, and mindset for lasting success.
Orientation - Create clarity before you invest in growth.
Too often, development happens in fragments: a course here, a workshop there, without a clear view of where people or teams are heading. Although certainly valuable to a certain extent for individuals, this approach rarely delivers lasting impact for the organization. At xplus Academy, orientation is about stepping back first, so people development will align with both your organizational vision and your team’s ambitions.
We can help you understand your current strengths and future needs by translating abstract role descriptions into clear, realistic competencies. Using our Architectural Competencies Framework, the xplus Compass, we work with you to define what good really looks like in your context. Our proven measurement model can map strengths and gaps across individuals and teams through self-assessments, peer feedback, and online evaluations. If you prefer a lighter approach, the framework itself already offers a solid, ready-to-use structure to start guiding development conversations.
From this baseline, we co-create personal development plans that put ownership where it belongs: with the individual. Each plan focuses on the competencies that matter most, not only for the individual, but in the given context of the organization, turning insight into concrete growth paths. Our 360° approach ensures that training and coaching are targeted, relevant, and connected to real needs, so people develop in the right direction.
Orientation can also play a crucial role in hiring and talent decisions. Thanks to our extensive experience with competency assessments, xplus Academy can act as a trusted partner in evaluating architects’ actual levels. Our quality label provides a straightforward, unbiased assessment process for new recruits and external hires, helping you make confident decisions and build teams ready for the future.
Training - Build skills that enable real transformation.
Training only makes sense when it serves a clear purpose. At xplus Academy, the purpose is simple: helping architects strengthen their ability to improve and transform their organization. Architecture is not just about frameworks and diagrams. It is about creating clarity, shaping decisions, and guiding change in complex environments.
Our training programs are designed around the real challenges architects face in their daily work. Whether someone is stepping into the role for the first time or already operating at a strategic level, every learning track focuses on building the right competencies, confidence, and tangible impact. What participants learn is immediately applicable, making the craft of architecture practical and relevant.
We offer two complementary levels of training. Our general trainings provide a strong foundation, introducing core concepts, proven practices, and essential frameworks. Participants work through guided exercises in a controlled setting, ensuring they understand the fundamentals before taking them into the field.
For more experienced architects, our specialized training goes deeper. These programs tackle complex scenarios and higher-level thinking, combining advanced content with in-class coaching from seasoned practitioners. Through hands-on casework that mirrors real organizational challenges, participants refine their judgment and expand their strategic reach.
Coaching - Turn insight into sustained change
Coaching is where orientation and training come together and are taken to that next level. It is the ultimate bridge between knowing and doing. Our coaching supports architects as they apply new insights and skills in real situations, helping them navigate complexity, sharpen their judgment, and grow into their role with confidence.
We work closely with individuals and teams, grounding every coaching engagement in their day-to-day reality. Rather than offering generic advice, we adapt our approach to each architect’s maturity, ambitions, and organizational context. Sometimes that means challenging assumptions, sometimes it means providing structure, and sometimes it simply means creating space to reflect and recalibrate.
The result goes beyond individual growth. Coaching strengthens teams, improves alignment, and builds resilience over time. It helps architects not only perform better in their role, but also become trusted drivers of meaningful, sustainable transformation within their organization.
