I had a surprise client turn into a favorite client recently, namely ViaTech Global Publishing. Kurt Heusner, the CMO, tracked me down like many of my clients – through the semantic web – and together we planned a really successful session for 75 of their top team members. I met with Kurt before Gamestorming was published [...]

Steven Johnson’s latest book Where Good Ideas Come From landed in my lap at exactly the right time. I was designing a 2-day innovation session for Razorfish, along with the magnificent Bumper Carroll, and Johnson’s thoughts on innovation hit me like a bolt out of the blue (although, if you read the book, you’ll learn that [...]

As many of you know, TEDx events have sprung up all over the world. Planning the bigger events takes a lot of time and effort from volunteers who are serious about “ideas worth spreading.” I’m one of those volunteers, having been on the production team for TEDx Austin since its inception.

Every year during SXSW, Lyn Graft produces On the Road with iV while Ingrid Vanderveldt interviews some of the SX panelists and presenters. I was pleased to be invited to join them and Ingrid asked great questions about my work, SXSW, and how to manage the inherent craziness that is the biggest event in Austin. [...]

I always say, when you can SEE a challenge, you can solve a challenge. This graphic recording session was with Dell’s Higher Education Marketing team. They have a comprehensive and executable strategy for moving hi-ed institutions toward virtualization, but the team needed to see how the many moving parts fit together and determine how they [...]

Producing TEDx Austin felt like birthing some kind of gigantic baby. I think I can speak for the entire team – Nancy Giordano, Jen Spencer, Kelley Burrus, Shannon Mehner, Chris Justice, Mary Baird-Wilcox and Stacy Weitzner – when I say that it would be impossible to capture the experience in one word.

Ladies and gentleman, I’m thrilled to show you for the first time the cover for the magnum opus that Dave Gray, James Macanufo and I have been [...]

When Disney called, I had to hold on to my mouse ears. It was, of course, a privilege to be invited to partner with Imagineers, and it was made doubly fun because I got to work with Scott Trowbridge – who should probably be a comedian in his spare time. (Nothing like a comic facilitator [...]

The TED Conference in Long Beach happened a few months ago but I’m just now getting around to posting pictures from the event. (I never promised I would blog in any coherent chronological order.) For those of you familiar with the TED Conference, you can imagine how thrilled I was to be asked to form [...]
