try new things. These Innovation
Cells written extensively by Burkard Wördenweber, and Uwe Weissflog has
even permeated the Navy who has created their own Innovation
Cell program. These cells, operating at a highly, seemingly disconnected
manner, are able through periodic coordination with engineering, R&D,
design and operations to not only create rapidly morphing problem solving. In
thinking that where innovations go to die might be a place to avoid, the
mathematical law of absolute value might be the place where the most benefit
can occur.
