John Robb's work on «system disruption» and «open source ventures» are key elements for understanding the coming future... with independence of your field of development. John Robb is not only a great enterpreneur and analyst, but one of the few voices you must listen before planning anything for the next fifty years.

John is one of the most far-sighted visionaries in his field. John's knowledge of the high-tech industry is both broad and deep, and is complemented by his diverse outside interests.

John's presentations, in small group settings, university lecture/discussions and large hall speeches made a tremendous impression and positive impact on my client, the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism. John Robb has the vision to identify threats to our society and the ability to articulate those issues to every group. I would bring him back at the next opportunity to speak to any group concerned about terrorism and America's resiliency.
