Rise & Design: Growth through Innovation

Innovation is one of those words that can be overused to the point of being meaningless.

But it's actually critical for your organisation. And may not be what you think it is.

Yes, innovation can mean the creation of new products, but changing the way you speak to your customers, manage your team, or finding new suppliers can radically improve your business.

They’re not for designers and innovators,- they’re for those who want to do those things better, and to meet like-minded people.

Come and hear from business like you, about different ways you can change your business for the better, so that afterwards, you can do it too.
