20 000 SEK + VATProject Overview
Collaborate with Hyper Island students to explore how your organisation can transform, optimise, and stay relevant in a rapidly changing business environment.
In this project, students from the Business Developer program analyse your organisation from both internal and external perspectives. They explore areas such as business models, brand positioning, customer experience, operations, stakeholder needs, and opportunities for digitalisation, automation, and AI-supported solutions.
The project is designed for companies looking to identify opportunities for improvement, strengthen their strategic direction, and develop actionable recommendations for long-term, sustainable business transformation.
This project is best suited for companies with an existing business, customer base, operations, or strategic challenge to explore. It is a strong fit for organisations looking to improve processes, strengthen positioning, explore digital or AI-supported solutions, or prepare for future change.
Participating companies are expected to provide a clear brief (with support from us), relevant background information, and access to useful material or data where possible. Companies should also be available for key touchpoints, such as briefing, feedback, and final presentation, which equals to about 2-4h/week.

How will you collaborate?
Experience based Peer-Learning
In this collaborative experience the students will apply a Design Thinking approach following the process of empathise, define, ideate, prototype and test alongside the Hyper Island Experience Based Learning process of doing, reflecting, generalising and applying. In connection with this, the client will take an active role in providing feedback-loops and anchoring the process and progress of the work to their business needs.
Meetings: The client and the student team are expected to meet at least once a week.
The Hyper Island Way
The Hyper Island Way™ is about doing. By working with clients the students will grow and find the confidence to be what’s next in the industry. This also emphasises peer-learning and exchange of experience, perspectives and knowledge between students and industry professionals.
Community Innovation
Peer-learning is the bedrock of innovative growth, sparking the kind of creativity and problem-solving that no single mind can generate on its own. By enabling the exchange of diverse ideas and perspectives, it fosters a collective wisdom that drives groundbreaking solutions. By investing in peer-learning, we're not just facilitating knowledge sharing – we're pioneering a culture of collaborative innovation.
FAQ
In a Learning Partnership companies and students meet to exchange value; the students get an opportunity to learn new skills by practical implementation of the learning goals of their coursework and the client gets project deliveries in the form of strategies, reports or production of creative material and assets. Important to remember for clients is that you will be working with students still in training, who will do their best to meet expectations within the brief, but who is still “learning by doing” and who will once the project ends, move on to their next course.
Projects are around 4-6 weeks, during this time you should be available for about 2-4 hours a week to support and touch base with students as they go and to feedback continuously. The students will alongside their project with you have a parallel learning track with workshops, seminars and similar to support and enable them to solve the challenges from the brief successfully.
You have ownership over the ideas and concepts presented by students, to further develop and implement them. An NDA will be applied to ensure sensitive business information remains tightly within the collaboration.
We ask participating companies to pay a sponsorship fee to work with our students. This allows us to fund a team of three people working with Learning Partnerships across all of our full time YH programs in Sweden; ensuring quality of project briefs for our students to get practical training in real client projects as well as supporting the clients in the collaboration. It also supports us to continuously develop our programs and ensure future talent to the industry.
