I help leaders to make their firms or agencies stronger by leveraging disruptive technology ahead of their competitors. I work extensively with enterprise social networking (& Web 2.0) strategy and execution. My two main paths to market are the Social Network Roadmap and the Executive's Guide to Web 2.0.

I also write an online journal for CEOs, CMOs and CIOs.

Live 2012's best practices now.
