TechnoCultureShock - Why it Never Stops and What You Can Do About It

The ongoing impact of computer technology on people and organizations never lets up. The pace of change keeps changing, and radical changes in work, life, and identity are happening. This talk suggests realistic strategies for remaining flexible and effective during times of accelerating change.

Thinking About the Future

A non-futurist uses tools available to any of us – children’s games and toys, the research and development of vice industries, and military R&D – to suggest likely changes in the future. Biotechnology, nanotechnology, the advent of a trans-planetary society and the colonization of the solar system through telerobotic and human exploration, all play a part in suggesting that your children and their children will face some astonishing challenges.

This talk sounds like science fiction but it isn’t. A man with a proven track record of getting it mostly right illuminates what is likely to come.

Mutuality, Feedback and Accountability
Keys to Individual and Organizational Success

The attributes of successful organizations happen to be the same ones that characterize successful individuals – those whose lives pretty much work pretty much most of the time. This presentation illuminates what those critical pieces are and what it takes to build them into our lives as leaders, participants in organizations, nodes in networks, and just plain people.

Blending Families ... and Cultures

The dynamics of mergers often have more to do with blending different cultures and leadership styles than with economies of scale. Using experience from a real "blended family," this presentation illuminates those dynamics and what it takes to tough it out and make it through.
