Sunshine banner

Hi,

In this page there is a collection of large-scale tools, that allow you to look at a problem or situation from a number of different lenses or perspectives. Each video is available on YouTube and for download. Also included is a brief description of each technique and I have created a PowerPoint presentation for you to download and use.

hope it's useful,
Damian
