The Post-Industrial Institute always brings together a uniquely sophisticated ensemble of senior leaders and industry experts. It has been my pleasure to present our research and experiences at Hitachi on more than one occasion.
I always learn a lot from the rich discussions. It’s all substance, all day.

I had the great pleasure of attending and speaking at the Post-Industrial Summit in 2024. Â Unlike other conferences, where you get a lot of vague ideas, I walked away with tangible ideas and insights that I could put into action.
