If you have one without the other, might as well have neither... (a common theme?)

A DIGITALLY-GROUNDED ALL-PURPOSE CONSULTING FIRM FOR A MULTI-LAYERED WORLD.

 

THESIS:

All the world and just about every aspect of life has a digital layer now. But that doesn't mean the physical world (and life as you knew it) is dead. How to navigate it all? You don't need a "digital consultant". You need a consultant who understands digital (among other things), and can help you think through the relationships between this, that, and everything else. Because there's lots to think about. And then there's even more to do. Especially in a multi-layered world.
