Inspired by F. Nietzsche phrase “Only thoughts reached by walking have value” (Die Götzen-Dämmerung - Twilight of the Idols, 1888)
, we pursue the breaking of those watertight compartments that
separate the technical world and the world of nature. We aim at the
restoration of the dialectic between theory and practice, between
knowledge and everyday experience. That is the reason why we have
chosen the powerful symbolic image of a tree that grows in a library. S.I.D. Consulting are not “solution providers”, companies we actually regard as “problem providers”. As a matter of fact, we don't consider “best practices” as a passive copy&paste procedure of pre-engineered solutions, a mechanical strategy only capable of transplanting to your specific case something copied from a completely different context. At SID Consulting we believe mentioned xenografts only endanger your (physical, social, work) environment. We have a different perspective and modus operandi. We focus on processes. We analyse problems and potentialities, and then tailor "a change" withyou, for the given specificities of your case, reformatting, reshaping, restructuring and re-projecting the given case study in a holistic way, with the ultimate goal of maximizing the inner resources of a given urban environment, in the light of clients' specific ambitions and objectives.
“Let’s not pretend that things will change if we keep doing the same things. A crisis can be a real blessing to any person, to any nation. For all crises bring progress.
Creativity is born from anguish, just like the day is born form the dark night. It’s in crisis that inventiveness is born, as well as discoveries made and big strategies. He who overcomes crisis, overcomes himself, without getting overcome. He who blames his failure to a crisis neglects his own talent and is more interested in problems than in solutions. Incompetence is the true crisis. The greatest inconvenience of people and nations is the laziness with which they attempt to find the solutions to their problems.
There’s no challenge without a crisis. Without challenges, life becomes a routine, a slow agony.
There’s no merit without crisis. It’s in the crisis where we can show the very best in us. Without a crisis, any wind becomes a tender touch. To speak about a crisis is to promote it. Not to speak about it is to exalt conformism. Let us work hard instead. Let us stop, once and for all, the menacing crisis that represents the tragedy of not being willing to overcome it.”
