The Story o Hyper Island

The year is 1995 and CD-ROMs are at the cutting edge o a growing NewMedia Industry. Lars Lundh, David Erixon and Jonathan Briggs are all pro es-sionals in the eld, and are worried about the lack o industry-ready peoplecoming out o mainstream education.

They saw a mismatch between how and what people were learning and theneeds o an industry coping with rapid change. Lars, David and Jonathanwanted to see a progressive approach to learning that listened to industryneeds.

They wanted to replace the student–teacher divide with a mutual exchange

o ideas and inspiration that had innovation at its heart, placed equal valueon personal and pro essional development and ocused on the group asmuch as the individual.

They wanted to challenge students to Learn by Doing; to experience, ex-periment and nd their own approaches and answers. This would preparestudents to respond to immediate industry needs and new trends.

In 1996 this idea or a new kind o education became a reality. Housed in anold prison on an island near the Swedish town o Karlskrona, Hyper Islandopen it’s doors or the rst time.

Those who have graduated rom Hyper Island have ound key roles in lead-ing agencies across the globe, and word o this new method o educationhas ollowed them.

In 2008, responding to growing industry demand or an intensive alternativeto the long term programs, we delivered our rst three-day Master Class.The Master Class has continued to grow in popularity, and we have workedwith many o the industry’s most exciting people and agencies.

16 years on, we have o ces in Stockholm, London, Manchester and NewYork. Hyper Island is now a global brand synonymous with shaping tomor-row’s interactive media, communications and advertising talent.



The Hyper Island Way

Our mission is to inspire individuals, teams and organisations to reach theirull potential. Our methodology, The Hyper Island Way, re ned over many

years, is rooted in the real needs o the industry and builds on our commit-ment to Learning by Doing. The learning experience requires the learningenvironment to mirror li e in the workplace. Real brie s, real clients, realprojects and interaction with infuential pro essionals are all essential.

We base our work on the act that technology drives change, and this leadsto a challenging increase in complexity. There is an absolute need to includemany di erent perspectives when developing brilliant solutions, not only bymoving internally to work in mixed teams, but also by bringing clients and

consumers into the process.

A more collaborative way o working requires an understanding o groupdynamics. This, in turn, requires sel -awareness in our pro essional roles, tobe ully authentic and valuable in a collaborative culture. Refection on howand why we do something is just as important as what you do to assurecreative teamwork and high quality solutions.

To allow teams to reach their ull potential we need to rethink leadership.Conventional top-bottom leadership is an out-dated system and a part o theold industrial world. Unconventional leadership needs to be ostered to han-dle the challenges we meet today. To strengthen true collaboration and walkaway rom a linear way o doing things is a challenging process or manyorganisations and leaders. We constantly explore new ways to inspire par-ticipants on the learning journey.

The mental models or change management and group dynamics that HyperIsland puts orward are the same or “brand dynamics”: authenticity, inclu-sion, infuence, openness, transparency and trust. Our methodology promotesli e-long learning and every learning experience we design draws on the

undamental principles o The Hyper Island Way.

To sum it up Hyper Island is about

Real clients and needsActive participationLearning by experiencing, doing and refectingUnderstanding group dynamics and the importance o sel awarenessUsing interactive media as a tool or implementing growth and change
