“I live by the gospel of x10. Most companies would be happy to improve a product by 10 percent. Not me. I expect my employees to create products and services that are 10 times better than the competition. I’m not satisfied with discovering a couple of hidden efficiencies or tweaking code to achieve modest gains. x10 improvement requires rethinking problems entirely, exploring the edges of what’s technically possible, and having a lot more fun in the process”
– LARRY PAGE of GOOGLE

– DR PAUL B. MACCREADY JR, Inventor of the Gossamer Albatross, father of man-powered flight.

“Michael, you are a friend of the company. I wish I had a management team that really understood the x10 algorithm. It’s the value-added role in the management process. It’s the simplest idea in the world”.
– JACK WELCH of GE
