Speaker

Cover_FRUIN_TheICTMalaiseMy book The ICT Malaise addresses a series of topics which I expound on and link to clarify and explain current (unhealthy) dynamics in the IT world, in business and management and in human (business) interactions. I shine my light on the capitalist system we have crystallized into being and its consequences and impact on business and society.

If you would like to know more about the topics and have me as a speaker at your event, workshop or at any other happy occasion feel free to contact me. Please go to the Contact tab and fill out the form. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
