About
Steve Prentice
For over twenty years, I have focused on the interaction between human beings and technology: how we adapt and work with new technologies, and how this affects work, productivity, and interpersonal relationships. As a specialist in organizational psychology and project management, I have extensive experience in change management, project management, time management and implementation of business technology across a wide range of industries. My company, The Bristall Group, regularly pulls together the best and worst practices of employers around the world and matches that up with technological and social change.
My passion is performance. I speak, write and record words during the day, and then play my guitar and sing tunes in a 1970's corporate events band called Absolutely Jack. We play 1970's soft rock and dance rock. Performance is my happy place.
