Biography
Art is a founding principal at Cartegic Group – a Boston-based consultancy specializing in organizational resilience and
strategic planning using scenarios. Art is a seasoned writer, speaker, strategic advisor and executive, having spent two
decades working with senior management teams at some of the world's most prominent global organizations. He has also worked
closely in a consultative capacity with some lesser-known but successful high-tech start-ups and 'intra-preneuring' ventures,
to develop informed, practical business plans. Art is a veteran meeting designer and facilitator, relying on a toolkit of
unique but well-honed scenario-based methods for effective debate to help clients reach informed consensus: particularly
where the uncertainty of disruptive technology and/or a shifting external environment makes decision-making unusually risky.
Before founding Cartegic Group in 2001, Art spent seven years at NerveWire, (formerly Northeast Consulting
Resources: 'NCRI'), where he led a wide range of scenario engagements for very large (Fortune 50) corporate clients.
Prior to joining Northeast Consulting, Art served as Senior Analyst and Consulting Director at two widely respected
technology market research firms: BIS Strategic Decisions (now part of Forrester Research), and International Data Corp.
(IDC). In those roles, he helped a wide range of technology vendor clients (in computing software, hardware, peripherals,
telecommunications, and services) to connect technology and service innovations with evolving market requirements.
Art is a founding member of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston (DCSB). Started in 1995, the purpose the DCSB
has been to connect 'bleeding edge' thinkers and developers of new information, network, and security technologies with
their counterparts in the corporate world for dialogue about emerging technology applications.
Art writes extensively on the interplay between business strategy, uncertainty and rapid change
(E.g., see,

of industry events and symposia, including the Conference Board. Art earned his BA from Williams College. He is a longtime
endurance athlete, having completed many marathons, Ironman triathlons and ultramarathon runs. He lives near Boston with
his wife and their two teenage daughters.
