Robin NeidorfYour core information skills are more important - not less - in a technology-enriched environment. In fact, they are your superpower.

That's the primary insight of our current Research Focus, "The accidental technologist - where your expertise meets the new world".

In my work with information teams, I encounter both excitement and anxiety about the technology-driven demands on our work. We can help you ride the excitement whilst managing the anxiety.
