About

I head the Economics and Ethics of Organizations orientation committee of the Knighter Group, a research and mentoring practice that specializes in Cognitive Design and AI applied to productivity and happiness in the workplace. I am also a Senior Advisor, and Senior Partner Emeritus, at the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), while leading Morieux Advisory Management Consultancies Co. LLC. Based on the research I am driving on the social economics of work and Relational Productivity – a term I’ve coined to refer to the benefits of three dynamics in human connectedness – I am currently helping organizations increase productivity and employee satisfaction by reinventing their ways of working and better leveraging AI.
