Systems Of Systems
We are thinking and operating at an ever wider breadth and deeper depth of abstractions and domains of concerns.
Complexity in the number of moving parts and in the possible number of states a single or series of systems are growing incredible pace.
And yet, we are required more than ever to think beyond systems of records and towards a systems of engagements between machines, organics, and with each other.
At ZedOptima, we have baked this integrative, systems thinking into every aspect of our organisation and our work. It is not a value-added service, but a fundamental service component.
We have worked on the most complex types of critical and carrier-grade challenges from different business and functional domains. We bring this practice at the table every time.

Methodologies Optimised For Learning
Insight. Initiate. Iterate. Introspect. Inform. Do it all over again. And again. And again...
Drops of rain break a rock, not by violence, but by often falling. This is a cornerstone to our culture and ways --- major progress driven by the relentless pursuit of excellence writ small.
The concept is simple and easy to do. The only hard part is our need for a strangehold on control.
Small is beautiful when harnessed correctly and consistently
Let us craft big wonders from small ones.

With Empathy At Work
Design-Thinking.
Diverge + Converge.
Feasibility + Viability + Likeability.
Open. Fun. Colour. Category. Partitioning.
Additive. Substractive. Multiplicative.
Associative. Commutative.
Communications. Perception.
Value. Utility.
Manufacturability. Scalability. Adaptability.
Aesthetics. Graphics. Senses. Touch. Smell. Taste.
Direct. Nuanced.
Just a few working concepts and guidelines that drives the way we perceive, approach, and actually do design.
It is simple enough, that is until you realise the dynamism of designing for people beyond oneself.
There is both method to the madness, as well as that tinge of madness to drive the method forward when we find ourselves swirling in a vortex going nowhere.
Let us navigate the waters with you.

Doing What's Right And Doing It Right
Seek freedom and become captive to your desires.
Seek discipline and find your liberty.
There is immense benefit to establishing a cadence of competence in a group. Innovations has been wielded here and then, as an anti-routine or an anti-process sort of thing; it is just about the new or the better and not about optimisation. This is fair and true to a point, of course.
Ask anyone who has really done it and most will tell you of the importance of a reliable platform that allows them stability to focus on improving things. A well-honed engineering practice is one of them.
This both assures execution is done correctly, whether designs and assumptions are valid or otherwise.
Let us put back sanity to the process.

Imagination In Motion
At ZedOptima, we believe that among the many skills and virtues a company can espouse, two are underappreciated or given lip-service only.
Learning capacity and empathy. One is the humble acceptance of our inadequacy and the need to keep improving. The other is the acknowledgement that we need to learn from another.
Only when we espouse that essential mix of curiosity, humility, and openness that we learn.
When you keep learning, you can keep building momentum.
Restore that sense of wonder.

True Source Of Sustainability
The knowledge of the past. This wisdom of the ages.
You have probably heard it at some point: we can't learn from all mistakes, we simply do not have time to make all of them. We have to learn from another.
A culture of learning with a culture of sharing that intangible insight makes all the difference.
Our mentors come from all directions and all walks of life. We seek them out, in person and through literature.
In a time when there is much resources and materials to be consumed, it seems the capacity to read and focus, let alone learn and assimilate is becoming a luxury.
Your first assignment when you join ZedOptima is reading; lots of it. If you are not into that, you will just find us rubbish.
We can only best serve our customers and partners well if we ourselves become masters of learning and sharing. How else can we say we know and we are proficient? Let us build a community with you.
