Sid believes in the process of learning and in using it to pursue continuous improvement - be it continuous improvement in his personal life, in his profession, in delivering projects for corporations or in improving human civilization in our progression towards a better society. With the Center for Study of Projects, Sid wants to create a culture of learning from real world projects. He believes learning from real world projects at a wider scale (as compared to within an organization) will allow us, humans, to better plan, execute and deliver projects.
