My friend is onsite on an assignment with Rolls Royce and recently he shared a great point that he observed. I would like to share it with all of you here.
Let me tell you something about RR, they are the second largest engine manufacturer in the world but they only their in-house codes(in most cases) some people don’t even know about the latest commercial software available in the market. they are currently using adobe reader 3.0 n they have no plans to upgrade it. like this in design center also they have their own tools which they r using for the last 30 years or so. no hi-fi software or anything .
so the great thing to learn here is that "Don’t keep too many options for yourself otherwise u may get confused or u may loose your focus". They are so popular without any great software coz they always kept minimum options and used all the available options to the fullest.
Back home in GTRE they bought almost all the software's available on the planet, but they forgot that they are actually buying distractions for them.
so what does this mean for an aesi student and graduate. well as I have already said in this post, tools are not that important. Its how you use what you have that matters.
Same goes for students, some of them spend lot of time collecting books and notes rather than taking up one base book and carry on with their studies.
So be Rolls Royce not GTRE!!!
