He has spent over two decades studying the strategies, leadership principles, management practices, incentives and organizational innovations used by the world's best enterprises to maximize value from their technology investments.

His recent research collaborations focus on the evolution of technology operating, funding and governance models to democratize digital delivery and achieve greater business agility and customer centricity.
