‘Chance favours only


the prepared mind.’ Louis Pasteur


‘Between the idea


And the reality...

Falls the Shadow.’

T S Eliot

‘An established company which in
an age demanding innovation is not
capable of innovation is doomed
to decline and extinction. And a
management which in such a
period does not know how to
manage innovation is incompetent
and unequal to its task. Managing
innovation will increasingly become
a challenge to management, and
especially top management, and a
touchstone of its competence.’

Peter Drucker
