Open minded. No fads.

We keep balanced perspectives, think in terms of continuums, and open our minds to the latest trends, ideas, and methods. We subscribe to hundreds of RSS sources on culture, design, business, gadgets, etc. But, we don't get overly excited about every new new thinking. Admittedly, proudly, for an innovation firm we are often kind of slow on the buzz adoption curve. But when we see something good, we recognize it, then we dedicate ourselves to learn about it, and sometimes we even become experts on it. We flow with the zeitgeist and think beyond it.

Whole brain, holistic, yin yang, multi- interdisciplinary.

Holistic, integrated (whatever you call that kind of thinking) is really at the foundation of our approach to innovation and design. It is the attention to every detail and aspect of the product, its eco-system, users, customers, stakeholders, service, channels, branding, etc. and how they are all related to each other to create seamless and consistent great experiences. Gestalts. 360's.

What really counts is the experience.

Tell the owner of a BMW, or Harley, Ducati, or a few other brands, that his/her motorcycle is just a means of transportation, and you will learn a lot (you may have to listen carefully) about passion, curves, design, engineering, branding, values, cultures, and everything that goes into making products that people desire and buy. We share the passion for the ride, but more importantly we listen to riders, users, customers, and we know that products are more than just functions in a nice body, they are really reflections in customers' brains.
