Today we spent a very productive day away from our computers!
With a full day ahead of us, Brendon presented '2012 and beyond', which outlined not so much our reinvention as our evolution.
Throughout the day the team spent time understanding the history of Bosweb, and the growth & growing pains that we've gone through to get to this point and, more importantly, how our business is "Rocketing" ahead.
Brendon lays out the future of the Bosweb Rocket!
The team came together to share idea's, collaborate on increasing business efficiencies and develop internal system & process improvement strategies.
Leanne explains the management of growing our team(s)
Still at it over lunch (a very full day and no rest for the wicked!)
The day end's on-site, planning for the move ...
Hanging in the "car park" - under development!
We look forward to revealing more in the coming months!
