I occasionally work with a company called Argenta-Europ that deliver innovation boosters, practical and energizing problem solving workhops, that bring together the key people required to address a real strategic, technical, market, project or process-related company challenge. Tried and tested in a huge European company, we are looking for opportunities to widen the use of these into the public sector.
