Today we met and, in making a sedge way between talking and discussion, spoke about penetration and what that means. This is something that has come up throughout this exploration. There was the intention to make an informal sharing with a limited audience. We wanted to...
After morning check in, conversation germinated around the seeds or spores of ideas. From little things, big things grow… a shoot here, a leaf there. Either the fledgling concept grows roots to harbour real growth or it dies away leaving fertile soil for fresh intent. Focussed...
