Michelangelo was once quoted as saying “ANCORA IMPARO,” meaning I’M STILL LEARNING.
And while you might not be surprised that an icon of the Renaissance would say such a thing, you might like to know that he was 87 when he said it. Sapient invests a great deal of time and money in learning and development because, like Michelangelo, we believe that learning isn’t something that’s ever completed – only enhanced.
