I apply Management Science techniques to help align clients' decisions and actions to what they VALUE using my multi-disciplinary map of the human condition - "Sentient Process Network Theory". I solve the painful problem of REGRET - wasted time and money we could 100% prevent and its drivers like the emerging Attention Economy - by optimizing my clients’ values-based decisions. Together, we maximize how fulfilled they FEEL. Fulfilment is humanity’s endgame.Time, Money, Freedom, and Power do not fulfill us because they are means rather than ends. However, they do RESULT from empathetically serving people we value at the intersection of our skills and interests. That PROCESS simultaneously fulfils us and maximizes long-term, traditional success. We win the entire time.So far, I have saved thousands of years and billions of dollars in the lives and organizations of those I serve, as reported by them. Having now achieved a "Fully-Given Life", I could die happy tomorrow. How may I help you and/or your organization?Sentient Process Network Theory is the foundation of my life's work - http://link.sentientfuture.earth/Theory.It is comprehensive, customizable, measurable, actionable, values-neutral, compatible with different belief systems, augmentable by technology, and possibly the only framework of humanity of its kind. I'm using it to deliver 1,000x returns on the time clients invest with me.
