Me in Three
- I believe passionately that we need to blow up management and start over. I have developed Business Agility from a number of different disciplines. Business Agility is about doing experiments, measuring properly, and making good decisions. These things aren't what most people think they are. Come to www.businessagilityworkshop.com to learn more.
- I'm an entrepreneur with 30 years' experience in start-ups, the web, and technology. I'm ready to launch into the last career of my life - business agility. I want to help companies, nonprofits, and governments understand the gap between perception and reality and learn to work with uncertainty. I'm looking for co-conspirators to build a company I hope will rival today's dinosaur management-consulting firms.
