KubiFest 2023: A Celebration of Teamwork, Culture, and Aspirations
Last week, the Kubicle team gathered for our annual offsite event, a two-day retreat that brought together staff from three different countries and various parts of Ireland. Hosted at the picturesque Druids Glen Hotel in Wicklow, the event was a testament to the vibrant work culture we’ve cultivated at Kubicle.
Day 1: Brainstorming, Games, and Awards
The first day was an indoor affair filled with brainstorming sessions, interactive games, and team-building activities. These sessions were designed not just for fun but to foster collaboration, creativity, and a sense of unity among team members.
As the sun set, we transitioned into an elegant team dinner, where we celebrated our annual team awards. These awards recognized the outstanding contributions of our team members, celebrating the hard work, innovation, and dedication that make Kubicle what it is today.
Kubicle Value Awards 2023
Congrats to Hugo Byrne for being awarded the ‘Making an Impact’ award, Lorcan Preston for the ‘Wellbeing First’ award, Anukriti Bishen for the ‘Authencity’ award, Sinaru Gunawardena for the ‘Gracious Determination’ award and Frank Maithya for the ‘Aim to Delight’ award.
Day 2: Embracing the Great Outdoors
Day two took us outside into the lush surroundings of Wicklow. The team participated in a series of outdoor activities that included axe throwing, archery, and clay shooting. These activities were not just thrilling but also served as a metaphor for our precision, focus, and teamwork—qualities that we value highly at Kubicle.
Building a Unified Team
The two days we spent together were about more than just fun and games; they were about building a cohesive unit working towards the same goals. The offsite served as a reminder that while we may come from different backgrounds and cultures, we are one team, united in our mission and values.

For nearly a decade, Kubicle has set new benchmarks in corporate training, empowering over one million learners across more than 1,000 enterprises worldwide. The mission has always been to foster valuable, measurable skills that drive organizational success.
However, teaching new skills alone isn’t enough to create lasting change. To bridge the gap between learning and real-world impact, businesses require more robust, integrated approaches. That’s why Academies+ has been developed—an innovative blended learning program designed to transform skill acquisition into tangible outcomes.
Why Blended Digital Learning?
In recent times, an additional challenge has emerged: the rapid acceleration of change, especially in technology. The production timelines for eLearning courses often struggle to keep pace with product development, nowhere more obviously than in the domain of Generative AI. As a result, a course being developed today may already be outdated by its release—regardless of how short the production cycle is.
Blended learning tackles these challenges by merging the advantages of eLearning with hands-on, real-world applications. Likewise, virtual classrooms led by industry-leading SMEs offer an effective platform for delivering consistently up-to-date content. This approach enhances knowledge retention while ensuring accuracy and smooth integration into daily workflows.
How It Works: The Academies+ Formula: Self-paced eLearning + Virtual Classrooms & Workshops + Impact Coaching + Impact Project = Maximized Organizational Impact
Learners start by exploring foundational concepts at their own pace with self-guided eLearning. This flexible format allows them to absorb and reflect on the material before moving on to interactive virtual classrooms. Here, subject matter experts and peers provide fresh insights, helping to deepen understanding through discussion and collaboration.
The experience continues with hands-on workshops, where learners put their new skills to the test in a practical setting, guided by experts. But the real differentiator of Academies+ lies in its final components: the Impact Project and the Impact Coach.
The Impact Project is where learning meets real-world impact. Through the Impact Project, learners will address genuine business challenges and make a measurable difference. With the support of an Impact Coach, participants develop a project tailored to their organization’s needs, applying their newly acquired skills to solve genuine problems and deliver tangible results.
With Kubicle’s Academies+, we don’t just train—we transform, turning learning into a strategic asset for your organization.
Launching Now: AI for Business Professionals Academy+
This program is designed to equip leaders and professionals with the skills to harness AI effectively in their roles. As regulations like the EU AI Act approach, organizations must meet AI literacy standards. This program prepares participants to not only understand AI principles but also apply them to improve productivity and efficiency.
By the end of the course, participants will view AI not as a buzzword but as a practical tool for solving business challenges and driving innovation.
