Seems there’s hardly an organisation around that doesn’t have some kind of customer or community engagement program. Front and centre in marketing and customer service strategies, experts tell us we’ll be co-creating the future together. But what’s the truth behind the hype. Does engagement really deliver results or is it just another thing for organisations already stretched to the max to manage.

There is no real structure to our sessions as of yet, however this will evolve over time. Come down and have a coffee (or bring your playlunch) and meet some interesting, like-minded individuals.
