I have over 30 years’ experience working in high technology industries. Today I work as an independent knowledge educator and coach helping people in organizations to share their knowledge more freely; to be more creative and innovative and to work more effectively together.
I am the founder of the Gurteen Knowledge Community - a global learning network of over 14,000 people in 153 countries. The community is for people who are committed to making a difference: people who wish to share and learn from each other and who strive to see the world differently, think differently and act differently. Members receive the monthly Gurteen Knowledge-Letter that is now in its 7th year.
I publish the Gurteen Knowledge Website - a resource website for my community that contains book reviews, articles, people profiles, an event calendar, inspirational quotations, an integral knowledge-log and more on subjects that include, knowledge management, learning, creativity, innovation and personal mastery.
I am a frequent speaker and facilitator and regularly present on various aspects of knowledge management and learning. I am well known for my knowledge cafés that I run regularly in London and in other cities around the world. I also facilitate in-house knowledge cafés for organizations and runs conferences and workshops.
For most of my corporate life I was a professional software development manager and in the late 80s worked for Lotus Development as "International Czar" where I was responsible for ensuring that Lotus products were designed for the global marketplace. This was one of the most rewarding and fun times of my career.
