Entrepreneurial Productive Innovative Engine (PIE) Teams brings to the table a view that we must have a proactive approach to creation of jobs. Drawing on Metaphors from M21C thinking, the concept of planting PIE Teams is a proactive way to get people thinking about the primary functions that create Things and therefore Jobs. A graphic expresses this with emphasis on hands and fingers. A new metaphor for the six hat team is presented using the fingers of a hand and the arm to represent essential functions associated with a viable business.

It is a team that wear the following hats with objective to create new products, services or processes:
•Business Hat (Entrepreneur)
•Customer Hat (Marketplace)
•Technologist Hat (Production/Service/Processes)
•Engineer Hat (Design & Development)
•Scientist Hat (Research)
•Logistics Hat (Global Supply Chain)
