Overview
The last 12 months have been extremely challenging for companies and organisations in the creative sector.

In 2024, our flagship company & leadership development programme, Future Edge, aims to support senior leaders in the creative sector to continue to be resilient and adaptable, but also to be flexible and strategic in their thinking as new opportunities arise.
