"Wazoku were engaged by Shell to run a team training session focusing on issue identification, ideation and solution development. Their approach was fresh, innovative, and engaging, delivered in a manner that brought globally diverse teams together and allowed for creativity to take place.

By creating a forum where focus could be placed on the pain point first, attendees were able to truly understand the benefits of spending time assessing the issue before moving forward"
