Our outcomes
Our experiences “The whole experience provided an opportunity to sit down together and discuss a topic. People were open and honest and it provided an insight into people’s thinking.” “Reflection is now part of what we do, it’s the norm.” “Doing things for your colleagues brings people together. At the start we were not sure if we were approaching the project in the right way, but we didn’t want to be too prescriptive.”
