DEVELOR Polska

What DEVELOR Polska does

DEVELOR Polska Sp. z o.o. is a Warsaw-based Learning & Development (L&D) professional services firm and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Develor International Zrt., a Hungarian private company headquartered in Budapest. Founded in 1995, the company operates within a network delivering training and consulting services across 16 countries with direct operations and 19 countries with presence, with the global business centers in London, Budapest, and Dubai. The Polish entity has approximately 10 employees and is led by Managing Director Bartek Wrzosek, supported by a Head of Customer Experience, a Head of L&D, and a team of certified senior trainers.

The company sells customized training, coaching, consulting, and diagnostic services to enterprise clients, ranging from single-day workshops to multi-year development programs. Its core methodology is a proprietary 7-phase 'Development Journey' framework (Awareness, Commitment, Knowledge, Practice, Reinforcement, Implementation, New Routine) supported by an extensive content library of 60+ programs, custom game-based learning products (Amundsen Leadership, VUCA Challenge, Mission to Mars, Giro Quest, Eco Mindset), certified Insights Discovery assessments, Team Sociomapping diagnostics, and the Trójkąt Relacji (Relationship Triangle) sales tool. Delivery blends face-to-face workshops with digital components via the Entertraining platform and DEVELOTEKA video library, and increasingly incorporates AI-powered simulations through a 2024 partnership with AIBLE Simulations.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services engagements: bespoke training programs, coaching, consulting, diagnostic assessments, and game-based learning. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with programs tailored to client needs. The customer base spans large multinational enterprises across pharmaceuticals, banking, insurance, telecom, automotive, FMCG, hospitality, electronics, and professional services, including logos such as Vodafone, PwC, Sony, BMW, Renault, ING, PKO BP, PZU, Unilever, Nestle, Roche, Hilton, Danubius Hotels, DHL, Orange, and Samsung. Marketing is driven through content (L&D trend reports, knowledge base, e-books), events ('Kawa z Develorem'), webinars, and active social media presence.
