Kadri Kiigema
TalTech Marketing Manager
Andres from Futurist conducted an idea harmonization workshop. I liked that with this method, we were able to find many good and different ideas to solve our challenges together with the team and also set a specific action plan to implement them. Because - a good idea is only good when it is implemented!
