About
What is Collected Intelligence? Collected Intelligence does what it says on the tin. It’s the thoughts, knowledge and analysis of the world’s experts, curated into one thought-provoking blog. A tightly edited version of crowd-sourced, collective intelligence, if you like.
Where does the intelligence come from? It comes from experts the author comes into contact with who have specialist knowledge and insider insight.
Who are the experts? The experts range from a molecular manufacturer in California to a nation-builder in Palestine, a policy maker in London, a happiness expert in Rotterdam, a robot manufacturer in Ibaraki Prefecture, an hotelier in Mexico, innovation experts in London and New York, and people that play with food in Amsterdam.

He was recently a Senior Trend Analyst at The Future Laboratory, where he advised clients such as Absolut, BMW and Coors, was previously Media Analyst at global digital agency, Profero, and worked in the award-winning commercial team at The Guardian’s online.
