True brand transformation happens when your entire organization believes in it. This is why we invite you to involve a diverse group of participants we call "Activators"—stakeholders from various departments, innovative employees, influential customers, and decision-makers at different levels.

By including varied viewpoints—especially those skeptical of the process—you ensure robust discussions and address potential challenges early on, saving resources and increasing your chances of success.
