QUOTES
Sometimes, the best way to think out of the box is going away from your boxes and finding a new one. EYE provides this opportunity to entrepreneurs. I highly recommend this program for those who seek challenge and discovery.
The EYE project allows an open comparison, not between competitors, but between professionals working in the same disciplinary field, even in different countries. The EYE project allows a real, open, unprejudiced confrontation with those who for the first time know their own study. therole of the NE is not that of a mere colleague with whom I share projects and job opportunities, but it is also a professional figure who is sort of an “external auditor” who sees the management processes, compares them with his own, proposes more effective solutions, and efficiently communicates strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
