I have had an idea in my head for some time now about helping the world reskill faster by quantifying behaviour change after an intervention such as training. The Germinator helped me pull that spark of genius (isn’t every business idea?) and provided me a structured way to test the idea, get it down on paper and have actionable activities to move the idea forward.
Next comes the exciting part of bringing that idea to life. So if you are a programmer, data scientist or behavioural psychologist and would like to be part of the journey, drop me a line on LinkedIn. Andrew Tennant
