MY PROFILE

  • Name: Robert Chiu
  • Date of birth: 24 June 1984
  • Nationality: New Zealand
  • Location: Wellington, New Zealand

WHO AM I?

In times of rapid technological change, traditional business models are now dated and detrimental to successful business outcomes.

As a specialist in exponential technology, I help increase awareness and impact of these disruptive changes to businesses. These changes include growth in renewable energy, autonomous vehicles, manufacturing, health, virtual and augmented reality, food, and education.

I also advise and lead businesses on how to transform their businesses in becoming an adaptive organisation, taking on concepts and ideas from the lean start up, design thinking, and agile to help put together a framework that works for the specific business.

With a history in product management, change needs to be brought in from all areas of the business. This includes senior executives advocating the change, project management and funding models to reflect this change, human resource to incentivise the correct behaviour, to getting the right team and people together.

If your business is seeking some assistance in this space, lets talk 🙂
