Beyond the Walls: Enrichment at AIHM

Throughout our lives, we often split areas of knowledge into neat little categories. We build up artificial walls between subjects. The same can happen in the workplace. We split people into teams. You’re in marketing? You’ve got your marketing blinders on. Working in human resources? HR goggles. The real world is all connected. Want to be an innovator? Ready to bring a fresh perspective? Want to bring down those artificial walls and discover new connections? AIHM is ready to help you do it.
