Allowing your organisation to grow requires effort and patience. And growth will bring challenges and obstacles. If you want to grow as an organisation, embrace those growing pains, so you can learn from them and achieve real growth. At iLean, we also want to grow. We want to keep on evolving, learning and re-inventing ourselves. […]

How do you keep your team motivated and how do you (re)strengthen their link with the company? How do you help your team members overcome the many mental obstacles preventing them from wanting them to come back?
On June 1st, we had the privilege of welcoming Luxshan Ratnaravi and Mikkel Noe-Nygaard to a fantastic evening in our Agile Kitchen!
