YOUR DIGITAL
CHALLENGE 

Commercial success in the digital age requires entrepreneurship, change ready talent and
technology savvy leadership.


When your customers switch to competitors for convenience and value, ask your team,
How long do we have to
execute a response plan?

helping dedicated company
board directors and executives

Every transformation is different, because company cultures, values & people are different.

Generic advice based on untested theory or outdated practice can waste your time.

SERVICES

Consulting & Advice
Tailored For You

Attempting something new is uncomfortable and scary. It can be overwhelming when contemplating the complexity of the journey and the things that can go wrong.

But, the future belongs to those open to trust, adventure and change. 

Let's journey together.

Personal Introductions & Talent Search

Access to people with the right talents, mindsets and attitude is critical for your journey.

There exists an eco-system of self-motivated superstars that operate around purpose and impact. They're off the corporate recruitment radar unless attracted through the right channels. 

Information & IoT Data Feed Services

Responsive companies compete by tuning their operational processes to signals from live data streams.

Without Internet of Things feeding your data stream, you're driving blind and appear invisible to opportunity seekers. 

Buy or sell access to data streams, algorithms and related services.

Brand Collaboration & Partnerships

Markets are more akin to evolving eco-systems than the Newtonian clockworks economists describe.

Alliances based on trust and affinity of purpose is consequential in an uncertain and volatile world.

Form synergies through partnerships.

Internet of Things certification

It's hard to demonstrate a quality of practice when it comes to emerging technologies unless you can demonstrate foundational certification.

I have worked with top institutions to develop an ANSI/ISO 170204:2012 standard certification program for Internet of Things.
