Insights

Longitude Advisory is built on the idea that technological change is societal change, and that we have the power to shape how it is implemented. We spend lots of time thinking about how leaders can harness technology, and how our technology decision impact the world around us.

We share those insights through the Leading Digital Newsletter and through select speaking engagements.

If there’s a topic you’d like to see, please get in touch and let us know.
