“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success… Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.” – Nikola Tesla
A former DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) program manager once called Oceanit staff, “the Special Forces of tech”. Since then, Oceanit adopted the term “Techno Warrior” to describe the ideal researcher – one who embodies four principles: 1. Self-empowered, 2. Intrinsically motivated, 3. Passionate champions, and 4. Comfortable with risk. In this episode, Patrick K. Sullivan and Catherine Cruz discuss the characteristics of proactivity and flexibility required to be a true innovator. They talk about why these innovators are more like Special Forces than traditional military; they’re entrusted with a mission and given the authority to carry it out without continuous oversight and direction.
Oceanit practices ‘Intellectual Anarchy’ – empowering teams to break down traditional silos, transcend disciplines, and cross-pollinate ideas and expertise. We create breakthrough ideas, insights, discoveries, and developments — delivering the future as an interdisciplinary force.
