I was a little surprised and more than a little delighted when Ray asked me to join Orbits. Surprised because my mission is “to anticipate and shape the future of business” in general—I’m not an analyst of the technology industry. That said, my work has always been rooted in how technology was enlarging the envelope of the global economy. So what you’ll see here will be observations of how the business environment is evolving, sometimes with a tech flavor, sometimes not. My current book, for example, looks at the emerging economies to see the next practices that will drive the evolution of capitalism.
And delighted because Ray and Constellation have established a culture of energy and excellence, and I’m pleased to contribute to it. I will write here about new, sometimes half-baked thoughts about the world economy, capitalism, globalization, and economic research, hoping to provoke comment and insight from you. If we have a productive conversation here, we may collectively shape the future of business.
