and the economy. Using data collected from over 900 companies, he examines the
mix of strategies that enable people, organisations and ideas to develop. How do
we balance performing today with performance tomorrow? How do we reconcile the
pressure for agility and ruthlessness, with the need to cement lasting ties both
with customers and staff? Throughout, David’s focus is on practical business
solutions. Originally from Chicago, David lived in France for ten years and then lectured at Oxford. He is now based in London. His most recent book is Electric Universe. Specialist themes include: How innovation works How globalisation has failed and succeeded in the past Deep trends in technology and society - up to 20 years ahead The Corporation of the Future - from recruitment to porous boundaries Risk management |
