Education is omnipresent in all spheres of our lives and is constantly evolving. It should be nurtured as a culture in all organizations including the commercials ones. Employees must be encouraged to keep learning and thinking out of the box. Only this can lead to innovations and will prove to be the best way to sustain and keep up with the changing times. Leading this by example are some of the most successful companies in the world like Google, Microsoft, Apple amongst others.
