The secret of success in any area of expertise is never stop learning. It takes a combination of knowledge, experience, confidence, natural ability, focus, patience, and “want to”. In the early 1900s training models fell into 2 categories, need-to-know, and nice-to-know. Henry Ford implemented a training program in the early days of Ford, his premise was I will teach you the skills you “need to know” to make Ford profitable in return Ford will teach you anything that you think would be nice to know. Most folks were satisfied with “need to know” income and benefits, but many wanted to move beyond the assembly line. The Makers IP team mission is to magnify your “nice to know” learning experience with a data base of team approved “need to know” information in the form of books, articles, white papers, video links, short term equipment, product, and topic specific hands-on training programs.
