Our approach to our work revolves around research and learning.

We like to spend time understanding the subject of study and the ecosystem that it exists in. We are very interested in running our ideas and products through the best evaluation process we currently know of, that is, letting you, the user, use the products and services that are created as an outcome of our work.

We enjoy meeting and exchanging ideas with professionals from diverse fields. A lot of our work is influenced by this exchange of ideas and we would be happy to have you visit us. We currently have the bandwidth to sponsor only a few "professionals in residence". We like to collaborate with professionals, companies, governments or non-government organizations on projects.

When we work with clients or on internal projects, nearly all of which have certain negotiable and non-negotiable constraints, we are inclined to work with a defined design and development process. This process has been developed from existing, well tested and often established processes. We, however, like to constantly evolve this process to better suit both ourselves and our end users.

Auditing loss of productivity due to illness Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:35:12 +0000
At 4am we have been wondering what the results of an extensive audit of the loss of productivity because of common illness cause a developing economy.Illness that for the most part is not prevalent in more ‘commercially developed’ nations seems to be quietly chipping away at productivity in developing economies. Wondering if the approach to ...
