I have travelled the world educating business executives and business students about topics in Lead, Follow, or Fail and will share the ideas/facts I have amassed and learned with those wishing to hear them.

In addition to speaking engagements, my knowledge of strategic planning/strategy formation in an innovation-led world has also been shared with many in my role as teacher/consultant. Using my conceptualization of strategy as a work of creative fiction, I have educated/advised many as they form strategy and build/maintain leadership positions in an innovation-led world.
Working for remuneration or pro bono (depending on the context), audiences I have addressed include:
Business leaders/business students wishing to understand how business is conducted around the world, how corporate competitiveness changes depending on where you are located, how industrial and post-industrial business differ, and how corporate strategy/strategy formation and business management differ for those who are Leading/Following.
Concerned Americans wishing to understand their nation’s competitiveness, where their country fits in the global community, and how to address the economic and other socio-economic challenges our country faces. In describing balanced global growth, unbalanced global growth, and global meltdown, the three future economic scenarios in Lead, Follow, or Fail, the conditions and role America may face and play over this century are revealed.
American military leaders wishing to understand the political economy of nation building and how government/business roles change as the transition from Failure to Follower to Leader is negotiated. The regime types/industrial policy followed by industrialization’s First Movers (Britain, America and some European states) and Fast Followers industrializing over the 20th century typically under authoritarian developmentalist regimes are contrasted. That no First Mover early industrialization was done under modern distributive democracy is emphasized.
School teachers/high school students wishing to understand the world, where America stands within it and the country’s major challenges, and what students especially should be aware of as they gain the right to vote. The imbalances/economic jeopardy baby boomers are leaving younger Americans is stressed, and what they should expect from leaders to minimize the challenges they will inherit is explained. On the current trajectory, following generations will face a much-diminished country/world, unable to function as they did over the 20th/early 21st century. Lead, Follow, or Fail reveals how Americans must act to prevent such an inheritance.
