About

P1000462 - Version 4Hi, my name is Michael. A few years ago I landed in South China to work. Pretty soon I was learning a handful of new languages and devouring books on Marketing, Management, Technology, Disruption, Psychology, Society, Philosophy and Design. I know I’m not the only one. Many of us stepping into management roles, in cities all over the world are faced with questions like,

How is technology impacting innovation? Why are certain companies succeeding and certain companies failing? What is the role of creativity and design in the 21st century? Will we all be entrepreneurs and freelancers? Will we all telecommute?

To work, manage and create in the 21st century demands team-members are brilliant, tough and agile.I started 21tiger as a repository for my newest ideas and lessons on all of these topics. As ideas and concepts change, I curate the best ideas here on the site: occasionally old out-dated ideas will be taken down, and select posts are released as themed collections, to be downloaded on the eBooks page. Whenever new posts go up, I invite you to share your thoughts via Twitter.

To see more of my visual works, including Photography, Drawing and Painting, check out my portfolio.
