"Deep analogical thinking is the practice of recognizing conceptual similarities in multiple domains or scenarios that may seem to have little in common on the surface. It is a powerful tool for solving wicked problems." - David Epstein (Range)
EVIG is more than a name (and a play on “GIVE back”). It's a core principle. EVIG is our commitment to our communities and society. EVIG is a conceptual umbrella spanning countless formal and informal initiatives, with each initiative having a foundation in helping improve the world. EVIG is an innovation incubator. EVIG is a collection of people, each dedicated to using their unique range of skills and expertise to create and encourage goodness and positivity.
Comprised of an ever-growing number of experts in user experience and human factors, system design and development, information architecture, organizational process, outcome metrics, community outreach, marketing and much more, we have yet to to meet a problem we haven't fallen in love with solving. We believe the proper approaches and general tenacity will always yield fruitful solutions, and love a good challenge. We hold true to our values, and find specialization to be not only overrated, but highly counterproductive.
If you see a problem in your world or organization and would like to talk with a bunch of really nice people (if we do say so ourselves) about how it can be fixed, or if you have a passion for solving problems and would like to join the EVIG army, please don't hesitate to contact us. We'd love to hear from you. Together, we can make things better.
