I profess ignorance and I use that as a tool. I can assess market attractiveness. I can assess the management team. We then make absolutely no assumption as to what’s going to work because if you do, you lock yourself into a strategy that you haven’t [yet] proven. You tend to be internally led rather than market led. This is where the risk may seem inconsiderate because you’re willfully declaring ignorance about the market you’re addressing.

About me

Social anthropologist, clairvoyant, postfuturist.

My work is social tools and their impact on media, business, and society.

I am made greater by the sum of my connections, and so are my connections.
