My vision on the future of business

I believe the future of business is small. Large diversified companies will not be able to adapt fast enough. Entrepreneurial energy and innovative products and services vibrantly create new networks of local competitors serving clients globally. Technology and design make an invincible combination. Technology enables individuals and companies to become less bounded and more connected. Organizations cross physical boundaries and individuals connect to others through social media. When combined, technology and design offer companies a inexhaustible source for competitive advantage. In times like these, business leaders are in need of creative intelligence and independent strategic advice
