Member Spotlight: Lewe Atkinson – Learn to grow your business with Mindhive
Mindhive generates value for businesses in three ways
1/ Find clients
Participate in Mindhive conversations to build our own ‘thought leadership’ profile. This may stimulate leads of potential clients who are also participating in the same conversation.
2/ Work for clients
Use the platform and Mindhive community to explore issues and problems on behalf of clients by open-sourcing collaboration across the network.
3/ Work with clients
Use Mindhive with clients, selected internal and external stakeholders as online facilitation of strategy sessions. The framework and tools help generate the key discussion themes as ‘sticky notes’, which forms the foundation upon which to summarise a conclusion.
