Dave Krause

Designer, Project manager, Technologist

I am passionate about using emerging collaborative technologies to harness the collective knowledge within organizations. Also passionate about the outdoors, building stuff, gadgets, & the web.

Imagine if, through emerging collaborative technologies and big data, organizations could move from primarily top-down orchestration of teams and projects, to smart, responsive bottom-up team self assembly and project crowd sourcing.

I can't remember my first TED talk, but I remember the feeling of great discovery when I learned about TED.com. I spent a good two hours devouring talks, in awe of the wonderful free and diversified collection of content on TED. TED talks have inspired me, changed my world view, and driven me to action. A few years into my career at J&J I became involved in the founding of the TEDxJNJ program. My goal is for TEDxJNJ to impact J&J as much as TED has impacted me, starting among a few evangelists and creating a ripple effect throughout the company.
