We believe in promoting innovation and entrepreneurial ideas both within OAV and in conjunction with our clients.  We encourage collaboration and are willing to partner with our clients to promote new ideas, new processes, and new products.  

 

Innovation is best served by collaboration. Innovation is a process that involves multiple exercises in the attempt to develop and design new systems and products to better accomplish a given task.

 

Markets are primarily responsive to profitability and quality.  Innovation is essential to one’s ability to remain on the multi-dimensional cutting edge in relation to cost containment (and profitability), quality (a better mousetrap must be designed to outperform the old one), productivity (responding to the need to increase production and decrease the time required without sacrificing quality), and enhancing durability (so as to maintain quality over time thereby reducing replacement, reducing down time, and reducing associated labor costs.)

​

OAV is committed to developing human and technological resources to do things differently in order to increase productivity.

​

For a business or an organization to develop a competitive advantage, it must be able to adapt to changing trends and new technologies.  One can develop an advantage through new technology, improving quality, enhancing durability, or reducing costs. Ideally, innovation fosters improvements in all dimensions.
