Briefing

Send your briefing to [email protected] or schedule a meeting

A briefing protects us from working against the wrong objectives. Agreement in writing is essential to have shared clarity of purpose. Efficiency is achieved by clear aims and focus of effort. The view that not writing a brief is faster, assumes that faster to the first presentation of an idea is the aim, rather than faster to agreed work. Saving time in the short term is a false economy.
