What We Offer
The fundamental premise and ideology of PLANDGE CENTER’s training, mentoring and
coaching is based on many years of experience: any corporation, startup and/or business person can
have only two fundamental problems with their business:
Problem #1: they haven’t yet found a project that truly inspires and
drives them forward.
Problem #2: they have a project, but something is going wrong.
Based on this system we build the PLANDGE MATRIX. For each segment of the matrix
we have an individualized, deeply developed, practice-proven approach and a corresponding
training / mentoring / coaching offering. Return to the matrix and explore each segment:

Why PLANDGE CENTER is chosen
Professor Dmitry Kulish has lived three lives in the world’s leading centers of
technology, business, and teaching. He instantly reads people and situations and breaks them
down into components for training and execution.
PLANDGE CENTER’s trainings, mentoring and coaching do what is impossible “inside”
a corporation due to operational and political constraints: they ignite and sustain employee
inspiration and initiative, as well as cross-departmental and cross-functional interaction.
PLANDGE trainings inspire activity and cooperation through inspiration, whereas inside an
organization that would require financial and political stress. Such transformation becomes
possible thanks to our unique empirical, gamified teaching methods.
Inspiring project found · Everything is going well
Racing Robots Workshop
Don’t relax — run at least twice as fast.
If you or your organization are full of inspiring projects that promise a good return,
and everything runs smoothly to your complete satisfaction — don’t relax. As the
Red Queen said: “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in
the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as
fast.”
The key element in today’s race is, of course, AI. In the training
“Racing with Robots” we first provide the basics of working with
large language models (LLMs) and other types of artificial intelligence, and then train you to
achieve superior results using critical thinking, creativity, and deep technology
knowledge.
We also teach you to recognize the source of your inspiration and energy — and to hone
and tune that source so that your current favorable and resourceful state never fades.
No inspiring project yet · Everything is going well
Technological Innovation Workshop
Find the project worth chasing.
If you or your organization cannot find projects that inspire you, but you still feel
strength and resources — it is time for the PLANDGE CENTER “Innovation
Workshop”.
This is our flagship program, rooted in global educational practices and repeatedly proven
across a wide range of audiences — from universities to corporations. In the Innovation
Workshop you will first find a project that truly inspires you, and then develop it together
with Professor Kulish and his team.
Inspiring project found · Something is going wrong
Influence Hardcore Workshop
When you have the project, but it stalls.
If you or your organization have projects that inspire you, but something is going wrong
— you need to work on both soft and hard skills, and their order matters.
Some argue that hard skills should come first: strategic planning, operations management,
sales, marketing. PLANDGE CENTER offers gamified training/mentoring/coaching formats where all
of this is worked through. First we diagnose what you really need; then we offer a set of
exercises that bring new clarity, new energy, and a worked-out action plan.
But there is also a view that soft skills matter more: mindfulness, goal setting, stress
management, and influence. For that kind of training we offer the decades-proven
“Influence Hardcore” training.
Time for change and change management. Time to break out of burnout.
The paradoxical news, based on many years of experience: the best (and almost the only) way to
get out of burnout is to burn out completely. Find a foundation. Gain clarity. Then, in that
clarity, define a new beginning.
That is exactly what we do in the training “Burnout to Ashes”.
If you or your organization are full of inspiring projects that promise a good return,
and everything runs smoothly to your complete satisfaction — don’t relax. As the
Red Queen said: “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in
the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as
fast.”
