And finally, it is about positioning the fruits of the creative process in the marketplace and selling them.”

“Virtually every company will be going out and empowering their workers with a certain set of tools, and the big difference in how much value is received from that will be how much the company steps back and really thinks through their business processes, thinking through how their business can change, how their project management, their customer feedback, their planning cycles can be quite different than they ever were before.”

Transforming a polymer solution from a liquid to a fiber requires a process called spinning. ... We spun it and it spun beautifully.
