Speaking

Conversations I can bring to a council, a conference, or a community room.

  • Digital equity as infrastructure

    Treating broadband and digital skills as public infrastructure, in the same family as roads and water.

  • Civic technology governance

  • Leading change in large institutions

    What moves a complex organization, told from the side of the people who have to live with the change.
