Sparkpress is the publishing arm of Sparknow. While supporting the goals of Sparknow it explores new perspectives and research on the role and meaning of story, space design, maps, communities, libraries, language and models for contemporary society.
We aim to develop conceptual and empirical research to understand new processes and patterns of change, transition and knowledge in organisations.
Our publications include case studies from our client portfolio, research papers on our current thinking and materials that support our speaking engagements.
