From when we visited Philips in our intranet expert group back in February 2018. This was particularly memorable as Philips back then had moved to brand new offices without permanent desks and quiet zones. A very modern workplace for a large, complex, global and old organisation

Local football heroes HSV hosted us in their stadium for a memorable internal communications group meeting back in 2016.
