Why the name 'Vexamen'?
Vexamen is Latin for 'Shake-up'. in the past, Jodie and James have worked with a number of consultants whose lasting legacy doesn't stretch much further than a couple of power point presentations and a large invoice. A Vexamen engagement will go far beyond this, delivering lasting change and embedding behaviours and processes that can be the foundation of future success.
