There is no "I" in team? Who said this is football!



Today's world is the product of continuity and adherence to a set of beliefs. Combined with current technology and financed by public and/or private bureaucratic entities, which promise one thing and one thing alone! Continuity, in other words no change..

But before you can have multibillion dollar companies like McDonalds the fast-food chain, Ford Motor Company (FOMOCO), or The Boeing Company to name a few...

You need talented people like Dick and Mac McDonald, for the restaurant chain, Al-Jazari and Karl Friedrich Benz for the car company and Leonardo da Vinci and Clément Ader for the aircraft manufacturer

Since last real world change happened around 1955 and the one before that was in or around 1895.

We are now primed for a new renaissance, but by nature when forced to come up with something new, the bureaucrats in large corporations will memo "the team" to think outside the box, yet really what they mean is to reshuffle and reorganize old projects into new ideas. Rarely do they strive for anything new

That's where we come in. While bureaucrats resist progress we thrive on it. We find ways to bring our designs from concept to reality while keeping cost down and manufacturability concerns in mind, at the same time create the best of whatever it is (we are working on) any wear in the world while keeping our customers consumer satisfied

As Giorgio Vasari wrote: "In the normal course of events many men and women are born with remarkable talents; but occasionally, in a way that transcends nature, a single person is marvellously endowed by Heaven with beauty, grace and talent in such abundance that he leaves other men far behind, all his actions seem inspired and indeed everything he does clearly comes from God rather than from human skill. Everyone acknowledged that this was true of Leonardo da Vinci, an artist of outstanding physical beauty, who displayed infinite grace in everything that he did and who cultivated his genius so brilliantly that all" problems he studied he solved with ease"
