I have more than 20 years of experience and strongly believe that every business can maximize its chances of success by incorporating the future into its strategic thinking.
I have a variety of interests – from business and IT / cyber strategy formulation, to the development of business and IT / cyber risk and control management strategies, to future research and studies, with special interest in information technology (and how it initiates permanent change in a society), history, macro-history, politics, geopolitics, the analysis of trends in the contextual environment and systems thinking. (I am also a business author, and my book ‘Survival Kit for Small and Medium Businesses’ can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007DGQ8IC)
In order to face turbulent change in the 21st century, I believe, as Futurist, that business executives, when formulating business strategy, have to deal with the future by incorporating environmental scanning (including trend analysis by applying data analytics), the forecasting of political, economic, social and technological trends and risks, by using scenario planning, as well as the incorporation of back-casting methods by applying systems thinking.
I provide the following types of advisory services:
• IT, cyber, digital and business strategy formulation
• Data privacy / IT / cyber / SOC 1 & SOC 2 (ISAE 3402/3000) audits and cybersecurity assessments
• Innovative strategies and innovative digital solutions
• Strategic foresight development (long term strategic visions and planning) – incl. PESTLE analysis
