Read MoreWhere does your passion and inspiration come from? One of my enjoyments is sailing. I really like the sport and the water, many of our ideas for product come from this passion. Our business tag line is Connecting Art to Part, it is integral to our creative approach to design for manufacturing and problem solving!
In our mechanical work we are guided by the simple approach of form following function so we are acutely aware of the art of engineering in everything we do! This is my passion and many of my product idea inspirations comes from sailing and it's surroundings. Take a look at the gallery by clicking on the picture, there are six photos!
It's not about brilliance. Valuable new ideas are the product of hard work and smart, disciplined processes.
It's a great book, but for owners of small companies, it's a little like reading about Disney World when all you have to play with is a backyard swing set. We wondered: Could P&G's approach to innovation be made to scale for businesses with a tiny fraction of P&G's resources?
We asked Lafley and Charan to imagine they were the founders of a company in an industry of their choice, with $4 million in revenue and 30 employees. What would they do to make their business as innovative as possible?
It's a question many companies are facing these days. As budgets tighten, businesses are outsourcing research and development and the creation of new products as a way to slash costs, speed development time and tap into top talent outside the company.
But it can be tough to strike the right balance between internal and external efforts at innovation. How much outsourcing is too much, or too little? What amount produces the best results?
To find an answer, we studied the sourcing habits and innovative performance of 359 companies based in the U.S. and reviewed existing research on outsourced innovation.
A business without a vision is a business without direction. Far too many design consultancies are reactive in their development and, even if they are growing and profitable, they have arrived where they are by accident.
Opportunities are pursued without sufficient challenges about their usefulness; projects appear from design-buyers and are accepted, whether or not they are a good fit; senior people with specific skills and experience join or leave and change the company’s capabilities.
Like boats without a destination and without navigation charts, businesses like this are drifting, subject to sudden arrivals in ports they never wanted to visit in the first place.
Now, I’m all for pursuing unexpected opportunities, and it can be wonderfully exciting to set sail on new high seas. But I am also a believer in Louis Pasteur’s observation that ’chance favours the prepared mind’. Where does preparation come from?
