House of Skills

What House of Skills does

House of Skills, legally registered as Konsorcjum Doradczo-Szkoleniowe S.A. (KRS 0000307055), is a Warsaw-based consulting and training firm operating as a KDS non-public continuing education institution. Founded around 1994, the company employs 51-100 staff including more than 25 permanent trainer-consultants and has delivered over 200 development projects in 2025. The firm holds the exclusive Poland-wide license for original Blanchard SLII leadership programs and is the only Polish SUS 2.0-certified provider (certificate No. 001) registered in the national Development Services Database (BUR).

The product portfolio combines proprietary programs developed in-house (Skuteczny Menedżer launched in 2005, Szkoła Coachingu Menedżerskiego with ACSTH accreditation, Development Center, interactive theatre performances) with licensed international curricula from partners including Blanchard (SLII Experience, Coaching Essentials, Self Leadership), Fierce Conversations, Celemi business simulations, Game Tools Change Navigator, and PRINCE2 certification. Programs are delivered through in-person workshops, online training via Zoom and Microsoft 365, blended learning, and structured multi-module development paths. The firm also operates an e-learning library of approximately 650 titles through its e-learning.pl partnership, including exclusive Polish distribution rights for Harvard ManageMentor.

Revenue is generated through four streams: enterprise B2B contracts with HR teams and executive boards of large Polish and international organizations, open enrollment training in Warsaw, Poznan, Katowice, and Gdynia, EU Social Fund co-financed training projects for SMEs (32 completed projects totaling PLN 92.1M in cumulative project value), and licensing/royalty fees on international program delivery. Pricing for individual training paths ranges from PLN 8,901 to 10,990 net per participant, with course-level pricing from PLN 2,790 to 4,190. The GTM is consultant-led rather than salesperson-led, with direct enterprise sales as the primary motion and BUR/EFS as a parallel channel partner for SME demand.

• Dale Carnegie Training: Iconic global leadership and management training franchise offering foundational leadership, communication, and sales training to enterprise clients. Operates through local licensee partners (e.g., Dale Carnegie Poland) and competes directly with House of Skills in Polish corporate training market.
• Crucial Learning (formerly VitalSmarts): US-based training company offering Crucial Conversations, Crucial Influence, and other communication/leadership courses developed from bestselling books. Direct peer because House of Skills licenses and delivers Fierce Conversations in Poland via Susan Scott's IP — same licensed-conversation-training category.
• DDI (Development Dimensions International): Global leadership and assessment specialist serving large enterprises with leadership development, selection, and succession solutions. Comparable in target customer profile (large multinationals) and focus on leadership/management capability building.
