CNA’s philosophy is a modern iteration of Isaac Newton’s insight that direct observation of events and people increases one’s understanding of complex, dynamic processes

Corporate Philosophy

“If, instead of sending the observations of able seamen to able mathematicians on land, the land would send able mathematicians to sea, it would signify much more to the improvement of navigation and to the safety of men’s lives and estates on that element.”

Sir Isaac Newton, 1694 Letter to the Secretary of Christ’s Hospital
