StoryCubes in action with Cass Business School
“Using the StoryCubes provided me with a realistic business situation in which you have to keep things short and to the point – you face scarcity in the real world and need to put your best face on. The StoryCubes assisted me in defining who I am and exactly where I want to be.” Tooba […]

bookleteer, Avery labels & StoryCubes

Sitting around a table with nothing but pens and notepads doesn’t really seem the most productive or inspiring […]
3D research
When I think of a research project, my mind goes back to Uni, when there would usually be realms and realms of pages of facts and findings. Just the thought of reading page after page I find boring – the same mundane way of presenting research in a book format. It almost puts one off […]
