We are Flying Cloud Solutions
It has been a long time coming, but Flying Cloud Solutions is finally ready for action! Frederick Steiner and I had a vision to start a company that leveraged both of our unique talents and experience. A company that would be innovative and creative. A company with flexibility and the potential to grow in spaces that we were both passionate about.
Flying Cloud Solutions is named for the famous clipper ship that set a lasting world record lasting over 130 years for sailing in the shortest amount of time from New York to San Francisco. The ship was an innovation that proved the extremes of human potential against environmental challenges and an aptly named metaphor for the vision of our company. Just like this vessel, Flying Cloud Solutions seeks to leverage technologies in creative ways to meet organizational challenges. With a main focus on learning and instructional design, we seek to tie together a wide range of evidence-based practices to provide unique and lasting (and ideally award-winning) solutions.
As a start-up small business, our current business strategy focuses on leveraging our lean business architecture to partner with other organizations in the space and to hire talent where necessary to meet the unique goals a project may bring. Frederick Steiner and I also bring our years of unique expertise to any partnership that allows for Flying Cloud Solutions to stand out in the market.
