IDEO Visit

Last weekend ten members of the enterprise team visited IDEO's Chicago office. IDEO is a prominent design firm and one of our enterprises greatest inspiration's. We learned a great deal from the associate director of the Chicago office, Tom Stat. Tom gave us an informal presentation, answered our questions and gave us a tour of the office. Also while there we stopped at The Art Institute of Chicago where we were able to garner further inspiration from such artists as Van Gogh, Gauguin and Picasso. We were sad to leave but looked forward to applying everything we learned once we got back.
