How David is building a better working world
“Through the EY acquisition I cofounded, we now focus on innovation platforms that can scale inside fortune 500 companies going through large digital transformations. The Transformation Realized process I helped architect comprises the art of BDT, allowing companies to see themselves 5 years from now, what business models they could realize, what technologies they need to invest in, and reimagining their workforce in an AI enabled dominated world.
Consulting has also transformed. Never before have we trained designers to think about the next billion-dollar business, remove friction, tap into emerging technologies, act like a start-up, and drive a passionate diverse human-spirit.”
