When It Clicks helps organisations make innovation feel simple, practical and human. At Connect ForGood, they’ll be running an interactive Innovation Away Day–style session, designed to help teams step back, explore fresh ways of thinking and move ideas into action.
Their approach is jargon‑free, collaborative and action‑oriented, using creative thinking, good questions and everyday language to bring people together across roles and perspectives. This is a hands‑on session where participants will build practical skills, make real decisions and leave with clear next steps – and the energy to put them into practice.
More details – including breakout topics and the full agenda will be released soon. Register your place now and receive updates as they’re announced.
