Insights to Help Shape Tomorrow

William Auckerman’s Looking Back To See Ahead is the product of a career spent analyzing the profound ways in which technology and society transform one another. With deep experience in both the USA and Japan — his home for four decades — Bill offers a distinct lens on global change.

From his role as Editor-in-Chief of Computing Japan magazine during the pivotal tech boom of the 1990s to work over the past 25 years with the United Nations University and a global management consulting firm, Bill has consistently observed how insightful ideas emerge from the intersections of different fields.

Now semi-retired, he has written a book that draws on those decades of experience and his passion for systems thinking and taking an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving.
