Experts usually move up the ladder by eventually leaving the technical field.
But the price to pay is that less and less time is given to develop good ideas to fruition, which sometimes takes years. As people move on, the research population becomes younger with less experience and time to fully investigate new concepts. In development, confirmed experts are now lured into leaving for entrepreneurial business. The need to develop and manage such a group is where the Academy idea came from. This Academy is an unprecedented endeavor in our Company.
