Phase 1

Understanding Aesthetic Experiences: The Principles of Taste

By engaging our senses and imagination, aesthetic experiences elicit powerful
emotions, inspire action, and forge deep and lasting connections.

Phase 1 delves into the basic tenets of aesthetics and provides guidelines for applying them to
your business and building your brand.

You will learn:

  • How aesthetics affects emotions and behaviors.
  • How personal tastes are formed and evolve.
  • How other leaders have used aesthetics to transform entire sectors.

Phase 2
Sharpening Your Taste and Judgment

To deliver delight for others, you must start by building your own aesthetic gifts. You must know what looks and feels good to you and how to express it creatively and authentically.

Phase 2 is designed to cultivate your personal tastes through our innovative, engaging and time-tested methodology.

You will learn:

  • How to become more sensorially attuned and aware.
  • How to refine your aesthetic identity and align your inner values with your outer expressions.
  • How to express your ideas and strategies through tasteful curation and communication

Phase 3
Unlocking Financial Value

Aesthetic brands forge meaningful relationships and deliver rich experiences across all touch-points. They tap into their customers’ dreams and desires, and, in so doing, they maximize their company’s value proposition.

Phase 3 guides you through a practical application of your skills. You will develop an aesthetic
solution to your biggest strategic challenge.

You will learn:

  • How to understand and appeal to your customers’ dreams and desires.
  • How to convert your connections with customers from transactional to relational.
  • How to capitalize on external trends that will drive future styles and aspirations.
Pauline Brown

"When I look back at my career - from leading LVMH USA to driving strategy at Estee Lauder to investing in retail brands for Carlyle - I believe my appreciation of aesthetics contributed more to my success than did my business degree from Wharton or analytic training at Bain."

Aesthetic Intelligence is, in a word, taste. It’s not about creativity or artistry. It’s about the ability to decipher not only what looks and feels good to you, but why and how to deliver it for others.   When it comes to business, aesthetics has the potential to unlock a lot of value – and not just for design-oriented companies.
