Our Story.

This is the innovation I hope for. This is the innovation I want for my children and their children, for today’s society and tomorrow’s.

This is the very best innovation: meaningful, useful, beautiful, and sustainable innovation, the kind that continues to improve the status quo, now and for always.

This is the innovation that the new world we live in requires. Not only because it is the right thing to do, ethically speaking—this should be the first and final word in the matter, though it often isn’t. But also because, at last, in our global, technological, and digital society, ethical goals are increasingly aligning with business goals for both enterprises and individuals.

Innovation as an act of love is today (also) becoming good business. It aligns with our core principle: Be Good, Do Good.

It has not always been this way, of course. We are surrounded by thousands of products, brands, and services that represent the outcomes of a very different kind of logic. Yet today, matters are changing.

The kind of innovation that wins out today is genuine and authentic, and it aims to create personal and social value first and financial and economic value afterward, as a consequence.

But this kind of true, deep, long-lasting innovation is not easy to do. It does not just arise from processes, data, and tools; it doesn’t pop up spontaneously from artificial intelligence, financial analyses, and economic plans.

This kind of innovation flourishes naturally in the mind of a certain breed of human beings: the visionaries, the dreamers—real visionaries and dreamers who sincerely believe in their visions and dreams.

This kind of innovation burns like an unstoppable flame ignited in their hearts; it breathes through their skin and explodes in their actions. This kind of innovation comes from the guts and brains of individuals who are able to understand other people’s needs and dreams, all while looking at matters with a different and unique perspective, finding solutions that no one has ever thought of or acted on before. This kind of innovation is generated, essentially, by people who are inspired by a deep love for humanity.

They are people inspired by a deep love for humanity and a constant desire to generate real value for those around them and for society as a whole. They are people in love with people: that’s what I like to call them. These people in love are the ideal innovators—whatever other title they might have. In the business world, they can be CEOs or scientists, designers or marketers, lawyers or singers, caregivers or sales reps, governors or writers—and they may play many other roles as well.

The people that these innovators love are similarly categorized in a vast range of ways, according to any given cultural context: sometimes they are end users, at other times they are consumers; sometimes they are clients, at other times they are the target audience.

I like to call them what they truly are, every time: human beings.
