We should have named the site Schrödinger — our place on the web that is both finished and unfinished. Good sites never are, so we have leaned into the design philosophy of 'build in public' and not wait for perfect (for example — we aren't yet fully tuned for mobile — so much for advocating mobile first development❗️) That all said, as you move around the site, when you see a ✅ in the page name — we feel it is 'ready'. No check? You will also see a 'WIP' watermark. It's here. Nothing that bad / wrong — but definitely not right ... yet. Enjoy.
Twenty-five years of thinking about people, the future of business, the future of work, and how technology enables you to get there. This is the home to that thinking.

Explore the collection of frameworks, fundamentals, and applications below. Each section builds on the core thinking developed over decades of observation and engagement. Start with what interests you — the threads will connect as you explore.
Firmly seated at the intersection of 'People and Technology' – in that order, which in turn drives my personal mission, which I am delighted to say segues nicely into The Future Found – a Public Benefit Corporation focussed on investment and philanthropy specifically to make the best future for all of humanity.
This site represents over a quarter of a century of thinking about people, business, work, technology and what connects them. It brings together the frameworks, philosophies, and applications that have been quietly forming across hundreds of newsletter issues, thousands of blog posts, and countless conversations.
The newsletter and blog remain the beating heart of this work. Everything here builds from there. The context, the frameworks, the applications — all spring from an ongoing conversation about how we build, govern, and live together.
I built this site in collaboration with Claude. I started on 24th April — and the next day, I am here. But this is not the end. Websites, by definition, are never finished — they evolve with thought. This is, very deliberately, just the beginning.
