Reflections

“Our way of life is threatening our way of life.”
William Day

The world we live is increasingly complex. We believe the issues of our times can only be addressed by promoting collaboration between various actors that are not accustomed to working with each other.

Some very special people have also shared our journey and helped us to become who we are. We call them our inspirational partners.

We believe in the power of stories, of both sucess and failure. And we like to share them:

  • In our stories Blog, we offer some honest reflections on issues that we have come across in our journey;
  • In our influential resources we share videos, articles and links that have shapped our experience and our thinking.

We hope you enjoy our material shared here. If you want to hear more about a particular topic, get in touch with us!
