Have your plans resulted in the outcomes that you set 12 months ago? Take…

I like to think of the in8model is a sustainable, clean, energy efficient, non-polluting celebration of life. Based on the fundamental premise that we are living in an organised and intelligent world we study what normal looks like and…
