Keynote by Mike Wittenstein: The Key to Prototyping Future Strategies, Brands, and Services Rapidly
Stories aren’t just for entertainment; they’re the key to revenue growth
Stories are more than just a medium for entertainment—they are a powerful tool for rapidly prototyping future strategies, brands, and services.
