Manifaktura’s services arise from the conviction and experience that all organizations need to #know the strengths and improvement points, to #measure them to make them objective and set concrete and achievable goals, to #innovate by opening up to new collaborations intercepting cultural and technological macro-trends, and finally #communicate effectively and not deceptively.
“If you can’t measure something, you can’t improve it.”
