They also believe that existing business consulting theories, frameworks and processes are not fit for technology-driven change and this new era of business.

So, they're doing something radical and applying their Startup Mindset to business consulting.

New website? Who dis?!

A big congratulations is due for Carolyn and the team over at Little Village Creative who have just launched their fresh new website!
