Summary
I am a researcher, writer and consultant. My core interest is the the intersection of people and technology -- how people adopt technology, how they use it and how they are affected by it. In recent years, I have been particularly interested in global patterns of technology adoption and use and in the development of innovative services to support an aging population. Other interests include the future of education and health care and the challenges of institutional innovation. Specialties: Strategic planning, new product development, market research, trend tracking and forecasting, writing.
