TULIP Institute
Work, Innovation, Leadership–Reimagined
About Us
Evolution of Business
Albert Einstein famously said, “Look deep into nature and you shall find the answer.”
It is no secret that we are on the cusp of a design revolution in business. Our current age of innovation is an existential threat for most companies. We set out on a journey to search for the Alchemy of Perpetual Innovation inspired by the science of biomimetics and asked what nature would do. We were fascinated and astounded to learn that “the formula” has been demonstrated theoretically and practically since the beginning of time.
