What is
an "alidade"? An alidade is at once a telescope and a
compass. Found in the pilot house of every naval vessel, the alidade
is used to magnify distant objects and determine their direction
and rate of arrival, as well as to navigate in dangerous waters.The
alidade is, of course, a perfect symbol of the firm's mission.

History
Jeffery
R. Cares has been recognized by Cap Gemini Ernst & Young's
Center for Business Innovation as one of the "top thought-leaders
in Information Age innovation" and his work has been featured
in New Economy journals such as Wired and Fast Company.
His pioneering research into practical applications of complex systems
research led him to start Alidade Incorporated in June of 2000.
His vision was to combine practical experience with cutting-edge
research to revolutionize military operations and commercial competition.
With the tools and methods he and other Alidade researchers have
developed, the firm has quickly grown to a multi-million dollar
leader in Information Age innovation.
One of
Alidade's greatest assets is its long association with and membership
in the exclusive Santa
Fe Institute Business Network. Through this association, researchers
regularly collaborate on revolutionary Information Age process innovations
with strategic planners from over 20 Fortune 500 companies. In addition,
since March, 2001 Alidade has hosted the AlidadeOnlineDiscussion,
an open-source discussion forum for the Who's Who of defense industry
innovation.
In May
2003, Alidade Incorporated moved into "new" headquarters
in the Ayrault House, a National Historic Landmark in Newport, Rhode
Island.
