This Factory Week was special for several reasons – primarily that it was our tenth edition! Like most Factory Weeks before, we've decided to try something new.

Factory Week no. 10 took place Feb 29 – March 4, 2016.

Is it possible to help your team become more courageuous in the span of one day? Our afternoon today seems to make the case...
