Access capability. Develop talent

Take your organisation to the next level

Our hosts are commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations from diverse sectors. They are usually award-winning, high growth organisations with an international presence.

Reviewing and repositioning for growth is challenging in a rapidly changing and increasingly digitalised global economy. Hosting a global professional immersion program gives your organisation growth insights. It is an employee attraction and retention asset in a competitive market for talent.

Your immersion team, guided by our experienced gurus, will bring objective insights and fresh ideas to help your organisation adapt and flourish.

Your immersion team can be your people, or external learners (eg. international students/graduates, supply chain partners) or a hybrid of both, depending on your needs.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss how you can implement an immersion program that best suits your growth needs.

Global immersions with a difference

Our gurus coach the team of learners in accelerating their professional, technical and personal skills, ensuring a valuable contribution to your organisation.

There is minimal impact on your resources as we guide the interface between the team and your organisation for a professional engagement. No physical working space is needed – our learners collaborate online from all over the world.

Hosting an online immersion allows your organisation to:

Access project capability to examine opportunities or challenges
Gain entrepreneurial insights on possible growth strategies
Set the level of your participation in the project
Develop your future workforce and leaders
Recruit top calibre learners

Organisation Perspectives

It was a pleasure to work with Guru Advantage and the international team of learners and it was a positive professional development experience for my staff who joined the international team. I’d like to have done the GPI when I was a student!
The GPI raised new ideas and directions, some of which we can immediately implement and also independently confirmed the directions we were considering which is useful.
The team conducted research, data analysis and CEO interviews with organizations in Thailand and Australia, and delivered impressive presentations with findings and recommendations that we can use in future strategies.

It was interesting working online with the international team of learners because they had different perspectives and backgrounds. We asked them to give us as many ideas as possible as we wanted fresh thinking. Even if it wasn’t feasible to implement now, these ideas could be useful in future.
I was pleased when the team delivered a diverse range of ideas and recommendations in their final report, from international marketing ideas from other countries to industry specific (in this case agritech and agriculture) initiatives to engage Australian companies with the Thai farming community.

Guru Advantage supported … our Young Entrepreneurs Global Case Competition where entrepreneurs from around the world work toward solving some of the biggest challenges … and the UNSW ASEAN Conference, which invited Heads of State and Ministers to discuss complex challenges in the ASEAN, US and China relationship.
Guru Advantage has been very steadfast in supporting us, sharing their insights but also their networks. And this is very important. As youth, we should look forward but also learn from the experiences of others – like Guru Advantage and their great network of mentors and advisors.
It's great to see how people in leadership work in a collaborative manner with students. Guru Advantage has been doing this for many years and hopefully for many more to come.

I worked with Guru Advantage to launch a worldwide business case competition, which attracted students from over 12 different countries. It is rare to meet people who are so genuinely interested… in uplifting individuals both personally and professionally.
Those who undertake the Guru Advantage programs will get a greater understanding of their interests, goals and talents.
Their passion to support the next generation of youth leaders is infectious, and with their guidance, no setback felt too difficult to overcome.
The networks are also truly invaluable. In a world more interconnected than ever, building global connections and growing in cultural competency is no longer simply a nice to have, it is a necessity.
So no matter where you are in your personal and career journey, ask yourselves, how do I next want to impact the world.

A recent study found that 90% of employers want recruits with work experience. Competition for professional work experience is intense. Guru Advantage’s global professional immersions prepare graduates for career success in this challenging new world of work.

Working from ‘anywhere’ is the new normal. Guru Advantage programs replicate this workplace experience giving job seekers, entrepreneurs and companies the edge in getting jobs and business anywhere.

In 2022, I ran a Masterclass on using No-Code tools to democratise digital solutions. This Masterclass was a partnership with Guru Advantage and other associations, including the United Nations Global Pulse Lab in Jakarta.
The Masterclass so successful because the Guru Advantage team was open to feedback … and because of their incredible networks. We had around 11 or 13 countries in attendance which for me, was the first time I had such an international audience.
I’m really excited by the Guru Advantage team’s ability to help youth like me and I’m really excited to see how they are able to empower the next generation.
