From their web site: “A ‘different perspective’ on things, a shift of perspective makes innovation possible. `To our concern hierarchical organization models and related tasks make ‘creative innovation’ impossible. That is why The Beach operates as a network of people and organizations that emrace openness, involvement and interaction. We are convinced that shaping the future requires different way of thinking, looking and interacting. Seeking and finding new shared meanings are central to our approach. ”
