They do that by hanging out with people—a handful or a hundred at a time—and creating conversations about the future. Floricane is all about democratizing change within organizations, whether they’re a small business, a mid-sized non-profit, or a large corporation. They believe that giving people a voice in the future you are trying to create makes for a better future.
