Where we get our enjoyment from at AaLl is the day to day process working with people of all teams to develop a project. Yes of course there is the end-product, the completed project, but it is how you get there that makes a project successful to us.
What is required at the end of a project’s planning phase does not differ (in essence) between most projects, but the best process to get there successfully will vary widely between projects. It is during this process that opportunities and possibilities for each project are lost or won.
This process, with the right team, is our focus and what interests us at AaLl.
