What We Do

Friends call us FutureU. Our vision is a world in which people can learn all they need to know to get all they want from their work and their life. For now, and in the immediate future, that means helping people and organizations to:

• Understand the power of technology-enriched learning and collaboration.
• Know when technology is the right answer and when not.
• Choose which technologies to use under what circumstances.
• Support collaboration and learning with or without technology.
• Create learning organizations, learning teams, and life-long learners that thrive in an environment where meaningful work arises from the synergy between individual needs and organizational goals.

The new information technologies are the biggest thing to come along since the printing press. FutureU is committed to helping organizations and individuals get the most out of these new tools—to enhance learning, improve workplace performance, add personal meaning to professional activities, and build bridges among people. In so doing, we hope to help our clients and ourselves make life more rewarding and the world a better place. Our motto is: "It's not the technology; it's what you do with it."

FutureU's mission is simple: To help organizations achieve a new level of performance through the appropriate application of technologies and processes for communication, collaboration and learning. As experts on corporate culture and human-centered work strategies, we help you develop, implement, and evaluate organization-wide processes that involve your management, staff, and other key stakeholders. Always the goal is to boost performance across the board, through the expeditious application of proven systems design principles. With regard to the new information technology, we approach it not as an end in itself but as a useful tool for building bridges among people.

FutureU has been consulting to organizations about technology-mediated communications and learning, since the early 1990s.

Client Testimonials

We use technology and collaboration processes to support change initiatives and learning experiences led by external or internal consulting teams to improve or correct organizational challenges and issues.

We don't focus on the technology and we don't focus on the higher order facilitation process. We sit between these and integrate them in a way that makes things go better for everyone at any level of involvement.

We use technology to improve communication and we use process facilitation to improve the use of technology. We use both "hard" and "soft" technologies in a blended mix appropriate to the client situation.

The resulting synergies created by this approach improve the outcomes of any change initiative or learning experience, create buy-in and increase engagement with and commitment to the change process.
