enterprise architectureStowe Boyd
Kent BimsonMy focus is the future of work, and the tectonic forces pushing business, media, and society into an unclear and accelerating postnormal era. I consider myself a web anthropologist and futurist.

I started my career as a software researcher working in programming tools and software environments. I have served as adjunct computer science faculty, an inadvertent entrepreneur, an software analyst, a newsletter editor, a columnist, president of a blog media company, and mostly as a commentator and advisor. I started blogging in 1999, and along the way I coined the terms 'social tools' and 'hashtag'. I have over 250 stitches in my head, mostly from brain surgery.

I have presented at numerous conferences and events worldwide, including Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0, GigaOM Net:Work, Reboot, Next, Mesh, Shift, Lift, SIBOS, Defrag, SxSW, and TEDxMidAtlantic. I am the lead researcher for social business and the future of work at GigaOM Research and I am working on a book about the future of work and our place in it.
