Enablers of Change

Let‘s do more experiments!

We think it is easy for us to keep the status quo, and keep doing the same things day in, and day out. It’s comfortable, it’s easy to plan, and we know what to expect. But what might happen if we were to change something? In this episode we are going to explore the scientific method and see how we can achieve greater results through greater experimentation.
