THE PROBLEM:Few people know how to cultivate an authentic, trustworthy and compelling narrative that is vital to their personal and professional success.
THE NEED:People need a repeatable, human-centered method for creative problem solving and storytelling.
THE SOLUTION:Provide a platform that helps people develop their own story and communicate their vision for (social) innovation.
PeerSpring framework
Effective storytellers communicate across multiple channels and operate collaboratively.
Their stories are multi-dimensional.
