Speaking"Like other authors, I am often pleasantly surprised by the uses that readers find in my work, although that is exactly what a specialist in unintended consequences should expect. I am not now represented by a lecture bureau; invitations have come from senior executives, committee members, and meeting planners who have read my work or articles citing it.
"Most of my hosts have something in common: they are problem solvers, whether in business, government, education, or religion. They are looking for fresh approaches to the human side of technology. I do my best to give each audience new ideas to think about and debate, with unusual examples and carefully researched images.I am now working on a new book on positive unintended consequences, a historical view of human resilience from technology, business, and politics to the arts, and a new approach to benefiting from social and personal crises. "A number of my lectures are on the Web via YouTube and other video sites. I have also given master classes in writing and design programs.I welcome discussions for 2011-2012." -- Edward Tenner Some Past EngagementsBusiness and Technology
