Known for its four-stroke 90-degree V-twin engines and its unique valvedesign, Ducati has carved out an impressive racing record, highlighted by its 2007 Grand Prix World Championship win.
And as one who doesn't do valvedesign, drilling bits, precision flow monitoring or pigging equipment, lots of the kit on display at the Offshore Europe exhibition in Aberdeen this week leaves me a bit cold.
The most recent darling of workplace design watchers is Valve, a game design company that takes the age-old game of anti-authoritarian organization design to a whole new level.
The next step is getting prototypes into gamers hands -- she says Valve already has a production line for short runs, making a beta possible -- and iterating on design before launch.
