He reports on AI and the infotech revolution, leadership, business strategy, global business, government regulation, competition, the economy, worker/workforce issues, and related topics. With close ties to top business leaders, Geoff reveals what they're thinking, seeing, and doing to transform their companies and win in spite of relentless change.

Geoff's latest book is Humans are Underrated: What High Achievers Know That Brilliant Machines Never Will. It's based on the idea in his wildly popular Fortune article "In the Future Will There Be Any Work Left for People to Do?" It looks at the trend of advancing technology performing ever more tasks better than people perform them, and the ways humans will create value for their organizations and their careers in the changing economy. The ideas he shares have profound implications for every business and industry.
