About Leonard Lee

Executive management consultant with 30 years of experience advising and delivering digital business solutions to Fortune 500 companies. Specialize in technology-driven business innovation, IT and business strategy, governance, planning and portfolio management and IT operations transformation. Formerly a Managing Partner with Gartner Consulting's High-Tech, Telecom and Media practice.Specialties: Business strategy & transformation, business model innovation, social business, mobile computing solutions, 3D manufacturing & supply chain, M&A and divestitures, product innovation and development, program management, IT strategy & governance, IT operating model optimization, technology architecture and planning, and globally integrated enterprise (shared service) strategies and solutions."The art of innovation is not rooted in the desire to be disruptive, it is inspired by the passion to be revolutionary. Change lives, change the game!""In order to survive in today's digital world, you need to have a voracious appetite for change."“Honesty is the best gift you can give someone and yourself. It is the currency that buys you trust.”"Have a plan, but plan on that plan not going according to plan.""Be comfortable with being uncomfortable.""Thought-leadership is a first-of-a-kind thing.  It's not an observation of the past.  It's about creating something new, whether it is an idea, a point of view, a philosophy or way of doing things."There are no experts on "disruption", just victims and stone throwers. Let the first of us who have launched their Tesla into Martian orbit cast the first stone. :-) #nextcurveI would rather be called ignorant than full of shit. Humility, learning heart, judgement, integrity.Lemmings follow. Thought leaders tell the herd not to go over the cliff.Don't get it twisted, I'm an optimistic futurist. I arrive there through healthy skepticism, not sustained and compounded ignorance.Don't trust, verify! Why? Trust is earned. Seems people have forgotten this very wise adage.#management #technology #innovation #futurism
