I've been helping organizations collaborate and communicate more effectively. That work has culminated in two books on collaboration. The latest book is
The Culture of Collaboration, which describes how collaborative culture is changing business models and how we work. In the mid-1990's, I wrote the first book on PC-based videoconferencing. I also write for business and technology magazines. I continue to speak at corporate, government and other events and conduct workshops and seminars.
