Testimonials
Simply amazing! Loved how Mike made the connection of simple human behaviors to marketing
principles.
-Staples
A wakeup call for us to prepare for the needs of the next generation. I am glad the board of
directors attended this session. Thank you.
-RHB Bank
Great session Mike, I liked your premise of customer focused innovation and finding out the “one
thing” that would make the board spill their coffee. Appreciate and enjoyed your presentation!
-Cisco
Fantastic talk. Probably the best of the conference. An eye-opener.
-Disney
Very insightful. Loved the discussion of the future of mobile, integration of social media, and the
need to identify how to best use the telemetry from this to drive sales and customer satisfaction.
-Verizon Wireless
Very well done! The cultural/anthropologic dimensions as related to technology innovation is a
fantastic theme to explore and to get people to ponder more in thinking about people’s
behaviors, the root of them, and how this impacts their adoption and use of technology (nudges
us out of the US centric context).
-Raytheon
Very insightful and full of powerful content. Great way of engaging people in the topics and I
really found the “next actions” as a very useful tool to turn the ideas into concrete follow-up to
drive change.
-China of Mercedes Benz Financial Services
It’s nice to hit the pause button and reflect on us as individuals, the industry, and the world. I
don’t get to do this enough leading the busy life I do, so your address gave me some reflective
time and an interesting perception on our journey as a society. I loved the mind grenade
concept, and loved the to-do’s associated with each of them.

Mike Walsh is very engaging, with the perfect blend of serious content and light humor. His
insights into our next generation of customers and employees was compelling and right on the
mark. His “mind grenades” were great takeaways that I will absolutely use at my 1,800-person
company immediately. I believe his content would be useful in almost every environment from
a small start-up to a large, established business or government agency.
-Forfeiture Support Associates (FSA) LLC
All I can say about Mike is that he “Rocked the House.” They loved him!!! He did a fantastic job
for us. I saw him two years ago in Denver at PCMA and then again in Boston. I knew he would
be a perfect fit for our group.
-The American Council for Technology and Industry Advisory Council
Excellent presentation – challenges status quo and our ability to react and if possible predict
where and what customers’ needs are.
-Financial Center FCU
Fantastic! It touched on two key aspects of my current professional role (ethnographic research
in the tech space) and analytics/data/dashboards.
-Qualcomm
Amazing! Mike was the perfect anchor to bring the conference to a high energy, thoughtprovoking close. He had the attention of everyone in the audience. The post-conference survey
has shown Mike was one of the most valuable speakers. When I went through the search for the
conference speaker, I was thrilled to put his name in front of the General Manager of my
business unit. Mike had another company that was looking at him for the same date but we
swooped in and put a firm commitment on his calendar. I feel sorry for the other company that
let him slip away. Thanks Mike!
