Companies that best adapt to change have clarity around who and what creates value.
Is your culture intentional? Is your narrative alive or manufactured? Are your conversations transformative or tokens? Do your customers believe you create value and appreciate it? Are you building community as you connect with your network of partners and collaborators? Are people collaborating on the inside?
Conversation Agent is a cross-cultural consultancy that works with companies and leaders to translate what they DO into value through narrative.
Value-creation Framework
To translate purpose into value, we explore key elements of your narrative balance sheet:
- Your Identity and Behavior: value in messaging, tone, interaction, attraction, transformation — Communication and Conversation design
- Your Ecosystem: value in meaning, direction, relationships, community, convergence — Connection Creation
- Your Operating System: value in competence, coherence, credibility, consistency, creativity — Compounding and Culture
A sustainable strategy will get collaborators, investors, and customers energized, your company habits will make it work.
Beyond technical, scientific, and financial expertise, a culture that works connects strategy—how you make choices or purpose—with habits—how you do things, where you hold additional value.
Practice 21 questions to take control.

Hire me to provide a different perspective.
Solutions-neutral thinking
An outside perspective on your narrative is ideal for technical experts, scientists, and financial leaders. It can help accelerate strategy-habits convergence, explore new sustainable opportunities, and expand capabilities and capacity where resources, knowledge, and time are limited.
I work in service to value creation at the intersection of art and business, logic and empathy, systems thinking and creativity, sustainability and immediacy.
Who I work with
I work with visionary technical experts and technology leaders, scientific researchers, and private equity/VC firms that want to create value.
I collaborate with emerging leaders and teams to make measurable progress in creating sustainable use case business value, and case study strategic differentiation:
- Using story as arbitrage to compound value. Sample companies: Sungard Availability Services, Arkema subsidiary, GSK, UBS, Target, GE, Allstate, Willis Towers Watson, Coral Active.
- Leveraging narrative to increase capacity and build new capabilities. Sample service firms: International Risk Management Group (IRMG), KPMG, H&R Block, PMX Agency, Empathy Lab, Decooda.
Bridge the gap between walk and talk. This unlocks energy. You can’t get change without energy; the best predictor of longevity is available energy before and after a given change.
