Columbia Business School, author of Seeing Around Corners and The End of Competitive Advantage
"Proximity is one of those concepts that, once you’ve read about it, changes your perspective forever. This wonderful book takes us on a rollicking ride through the future that is just beginning to emerge―but will be here before we know it. No business leader should miss its lessons."
Mamatha Chamarthi
Global SVP & Head of Software Business Stellantis
“Unexpected and un-put-downable. One of the most prescient, insightful views of the future I've ever seen. Visionary and intensely practical. As Wolcott and Krippendorff advise, technology allows us to serve customers by "doing things we could never have done before." If your company doesn't do it, someone else surely will. Every global corporation must consider the implications of Proximity. “

“The winners aren't just 'disruptive' or 'exponential'. They make proximity a reality. It's rare to find a business book with a truly new and decisive perspective. PROXIMITY is one of them.”

Brian Collins

"PROXIMITY reveals the inner workings, the nerves and sinews, of technology now ravishing outmoded ways and thinking, conspiring and calling us to a seductive, brave new world. Both terrified and mesmerized, I’m sending copies to everyone close to me. For your own good, read the damn thing and tell me I'm wrong. I dare you."
