Matt's work with Prospect

​

Matt has delivered workshops with Prospect that engage course participants in creative right-brain thinking through the use of drawing exercises.

The basis of the exercises is to encourage new ways of thinking through close observation of subject matter. The premises of these exercises are that investigation of an issue starts with looking before doing.

Insights gained through these exercises can support leaders and managers to bring new thinking to issues that in turn will help deliver required change in organisations and teams.a
