COVER STORY<br />
Agile is the<br />
methodology<br />
and discipline to<br />
harness innovation<br />
and drive, quickly,<br />
to a commercialized<br />
solution for<br />
customers"<br />
needs are met.<br />
All of these investments help<br />
alleviate poverty and make our<br />
other grants more effective.<br />
What are the social impacts of<br />
your CSR initiatives? Can you<br />
quantify them?<br />
We have an outcome-based<br />
measurement process that<br />
helps us measure the impact<br />
of our investments. And we<br />
expect a philanthropic return on<br />
investment.<br />
What are your future CSR<br />
initiatives?<br />
We hope to continue on the<br />
path to alleviating poverty.<br />
And, ultimately, we hope future<br />
generations ask "What was<br />
poverty?"<br />
Advice to the Young<br />
Engineers<br />
Always remember who rings<br />
your cash register! This may<br />
sound silly, but as careers have<br />
shifted from the storefront to<br />
the office, engineers have lost<br />
sight of what the customer needs<br />
to be successful. Whether you’re<br />
designing heavy equipment or<br />
kitchen sinks, you have to stay<br />
focused on what the customer<br />
wants and what they are willing<br />
to pay for. One tool that has<br />
helped us in this focus is Agile<br />
development. Agile is the<br />
methodology and discipline to<br />
harness innovation and drive,<br />
quickly, to a commercialized<br />
solution for customers. Crossfunctional<br />
Agile teams<br />
collaborate – leveraging their<br />
diverse knowledge, experiences<br />
and skill sets – to deliver products,<br />
in small increments, to customers<br />
and use their feedback to learn<br />
whether the solutions are<br />
delivering the desired value.<br />
