Safe Hands is committed to learning and sharing in an effort to help as many businesses as possible to grow and develop and move forward. As we've said again and again, it's all about working smarter rather than working harder.
Education is key. And it's a never ending process. Information and ideas are more accessable now than they have ever been. The internet is a wonderful tool. But old technologies like books shouldn't be overlooked either.
When it comes to making steps forward conceptually, it is important to keep an open mind and to look in places where you might never think to look. While there are lessons to be learned from the traditional fields of Business, Management, and Economics, looking further afield into areas such as History and the Behavioural Sciences can lead to innovative new approaches.
At Safe Hands we have come across a number of books, tools and resources which we have have found helpful, and which we'd like to share.
