My current research focuses on leadership and entrepreneurship education at the university level. Previous research themes include human-agent rapport in virtual reality, dialogue models for intelligent agents, and why people don't read the manual. Videos of cool agent-based VR applications, such as the Boston Massacre History Experience, developed by my Advanced aGent ENgagement Team are available here. | ![]() |
I am a Strategic Doing™ trained practitioner and certified workshop leader. I help organizations and teams take action to meet complex challenges. Traditional strategic planning typically produces a hard-to-grasp, formed-by-committee document that is out out of date when when issued and is all too often not acted upon. In contrast, Strategic Doing involves forming collaborations quickly, moving toward measurable outcomes, and making adjustments along the way. | ![]() ![]() |
