TALK: 'DESIGN FOR MOMENTUM' (2018)
After decades of agency consulting in Silicon Valley, John recently crossed over to become a client – locally here in Melbourne. He is on a mission to understand one thing – how new ideas can advance and move through legacy ridden organizations to see the light of day.
