I'm interested in chatting with people interested in designing for the future (speculative, critical, strategic, foresight) and innovation within large corporations and grass roots community building. My mission lies at the intersection of strategy within the industrial internet (internet of big things, industrial revolution 4.0) and innovation practice and methods.
