If you have had the experience of working and collaborating

us all greater than we are on our own. The engagement stimulates
the best in us. We enjoy the adventure of creating together
and contributing to the task, and the process energizes us
to rally to the mission. Such experiences of working with
a team leave an indelible memory and knowledge of how innovative,
resourceful and capable we can be in the face of challenges,
setbacks and opportunities. A powerful team that cultivates
a culture of innovation can be the difference between being
in or out of business.
