Direct Reports Awayday - 24th June 2016Living space like our

systems not flexible enough

being built brick by brick and out of

date for a modern and digital business

Foundations & infrastructure fragile

no longer fit for purpose. Costly to maintain; not easily

expandable

together to ensure the house is livable and
