With international business experience in eight countries, I have been developing collaboration and knowledge sharing products and services for over ten years. I have created solutions for clients in consumer packaged goods, legal and financial services, dot-com publishing, and telecommunications industries.

My recent consulting engagements include Miller Brewing, Canada Health Infoway, Stikeman Elliott, Cancer Care Ontario, and Washington Mutual. I have been working closely with these information-intensive organizations to evolve their collaboration strategies.

I am interested in how people work together, how they collaborate, and how they relate to each other in order to get things done. By understanding these principles, I think we can understand on a macro level how companies, organizations, and even countries can better partner with each other. I believe that the keys to ending tragedies such as world poverty or war are found in the individual, national, and global relationships that we are all a part of.

I have a Master’s degree in Cognitive and Neural Systems from Boston University’s Center for Adaptive Systems and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from McGill.

Blog 2.0

Corporations as conversations

Collaboration and social software have been around for a number of years, but are starting to make a significant appearance in the enterprise. For this reason, I have decided to start writing about it and connect with others who share a passion for adaptive and agile organizations. And after […]
