OUR COLLECTIVE
Born under the trusted expertise of the Impact Travel Group collective, alongside our renowned entities like Raleigh International and African Impact, Rebel Innovation is poised to expand our capabilities in 2024, and beyond.
In today’s interconnected business environment, companies won’t be able to solve problems effectively without encouraging “contributory dissent” – a healthy approach to gathering diverse perspectives that should be taught to team members, modelled by leaders, and supported by culture.
