Need to boost your thinking to the next level?
I will help you make sense of complexity and develop your strategic foundations so they are rock solid and speak directly to your people so everybody can see and understand your vision.
Want to bring your team along for the journey?
I build custom workshops and experiences that help groups think differently to solve problems together. The structures and processes I use work with groups of any size, from a small group to a full-sized team or community.
Experience
I bring two decades of leadership experience on the front lines in both public and private sectors for organizations large and small.
I have lead innovation strategy and research at: D-Ford Greenfield Labs, Syapse, Illinois Institute of Technology, and many other fine institutions.
Theory
Masters in Design and in Teaching Foreign Language plus a Bachelors in Psychology give me deep grounding in methods and theory.
Practice
Over 20 years leading diverse teams in complex, rapidly changing environments informs how I understand and interact with people and the world.
I am a people person who loves to abstract the wickedest of problems to find solutions that dance elegantly among constraints, redefining what is possible. I use foresight to look into the future and understand what is emerging today. My interests include organizational/social transformation through disruptive innovation, making technology transparent, and bringing delight, beauty, a sense of awe to everyday interactions.
