Mission: Be Fit for Service Goal: To help organizations become more efficient and effective, reduce their waste and increase their profits, so that they might invest a portion of their new surplus to worthy philanthropies. Vision: "There is immense operational waste in the world's organizations. Clearly, immense beneficial investment in the world's current and future condition could occur if there was a commitment to identify and reduce the waste, then invest the savings into clean water, basic education, pre-natal care and other chosen methods to dramatically enhance humanity's future. Organizations and humans can create a symbiotic relationship in which each provides the other the opportunity to actualize." - David Childs, Ph.D October 4, 1999
