«Dozens of groups at UiB have applied variants of start smart, and it is seen as a great method for establishing and developing groups. The clarification of goals and working styles coupled with a personal twist equips groups with the right conditions for success.»

Kathrine Brosvik Thorsen, Program Manager at UiB Service Development, Universitetet I Bergenn
