All commercial organizations in modern economics follow the same single invariant pattern. It doesn't matter in which industry the organization operates or what they produce ... the pattern is all about commercial success. Businesses are designed for unlimited growth... according to the population growth. This is true until the current economic model takes place - increasing the number of people and increasing the Earth's population. The invariant nature of business success is key. We created an Enterprise Design consulting service offering, which is built around the modern economic model, conformant to modern trends for IT industry and IT departments of commercial organizations.

They know that one size does not fit all. They're instead picking the best horse for each course: a thoroughbred for the racetrack, and a Clydesdale to pull the beer wagon.
