R & D and Serendipity
In the world of Research and Development serendipity is a well known phenomenon. Nicola Tesla said that in eternity everything already exists and that you just have to reveal it. The Blue Swan Serendipity Navigator is "revealed" end of 2014 for that purpose while searching for something else.
The Triangle is: Projects ( R&D are also projects), Efficiency and Serendipity.
With serendipity in the lead everyone can deduct the importance of fundamental research. You just search for or research on and with the right efficiency maybe you will find a Qauntum Leap for mankind.
