DREAMSCAPE GLOBAL - "Enabling Business Breakthroughs"
www.dreamscapeglobal.com

Since 1989, I've advised over a hundred high-tech companies from the U.S., Japan, Europe and Asia in their market entry and business strategies into the U.S. and Japan. I specialize in developing breakthrough strategies and was involved with "Intel Inside", AMD Japan's revenue-doubling strategy, Nokia global strategy, and Canon's networking strategy. I focus on helping tech companies uncover new markets and customers.

Since 1982, I've advised over 700 high-tech companies, ranging from IBM and Intel to raw startups, so I've seen and worked on solving many business strategy errors.

JONKOPING INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SCHOOL (JIBS), SWEDEN
www.jibs.se

From Nov. 2007 to Nov. 2009, I was Associate Dean of Business Creation for JIBS, where my goal was to generate new revenues from international projects. We succeeded in raising nearly $1M from Swedish agencies for a space tech commercialization project, which I will bring to the U.S.

I was hired by JIBS through Intentac (www.intentac.org), a global network of university, government and business researchers and educators.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY
U.S.-JAPAN TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT CENTER

During 1993-1994, I was Industry Liaison Manager at USJTMC, which was funded by the U.S. Congress to educate engineering and computer science students at 8 top U.S. universities in technical Japanese language and management practices.

I wanted my team to develop a "Mac interface for the Internet" in mid-1993, but they made me learn UNIX to do email and websurfing. Marc Andreesen launched Mosaic later, then Netscape, which triggered the Internet boom. Illinois U. beat Stanford and we were eight months ahead! I could have been #3 at Yahoo! but my wife was hospitalized, so I advised a friend at Apple Computer to join; he's a VC now.

I've met some great entrepreneurs in my career: Michael Dell, Steven Case, Michael Yang (MySimon.com), Cobalt Networks, etc. so I know how they think and act.

DATAQUEST - JAPANESE SEMICONDUCTOR INFORMATION SERVICE

During the 1980s, I was an analyst at Dataquest where I co-founded the Japan/Asia semiconductor services, co-authored a report on chip startups, advised venture capitalists, and wrote two business books on Japan (see below).

WOODWARD-CLYDE CONSULTANTS AND BECHTEL CORPORATION

In the 1970s, I was trained in urban planning (housing & community development, with an environmental planning minor) and worked on energy impact reports (EIS), solar rights policies, housing plans, and international project financing, so I'm familiar with energy/environmental issues from the 1970s energy crisis.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

I'm an adviser to the IP First Society (www.ipfirst.org), a non-profit community based in Shanghai, China, which focuses on IP practices in China. A related effort is China IP Smart (www.chinaipsmart.com), which translates Chinese IP articles into English and publishes the Creative China magazine.

SCREENWRITING & FILMMAKING

I've worked on TV documentaries and am expanding into feature films. My projects are very global in scope (US, Japan, Europe, Mideast, and Asia).

My passion is screenwriting. I'm writing my 13th through 15th screenplays, which I'm planning to produce.

My father was an amateur filmmaker whose WW2 detention camp videos of Topaz, Utah were the second home videos (after the Kennedy assassination film) selected by the National Film Archive of the U.S. Library of Congress. To see the videos online, see: http://www.discovernikkei.org/nikkeialbum/ja/node/9637?nf=1

In Silicon Valley, I'm a juror at the Film Angels pitch sessions and a member of the International Institute for Film Financing: http://www.filmfinancing.org/

In San Francisco, I'm a member of the National Japanese American National Historical Society, http://www.njahs.org/.

I have worked on TV documentaries and nonprofit projects:

SURVIVORS by Steven Okazaki (http://www.farfilm.com/) who won the 1980 Best PBS Documentary of the Year Award. This project began as a 5-minute class video at San Francisco State University. Although I wasn't involved in Steve's two next documentaries, he received two Oscar nominations and won the Oscar for YEARS OF WAITING (1991).

JAPAN DREAMING (1991, Central Independent TV plc, London)
based on my book THE TECHNOPOLIS STRATEGY (1986), which aired on Nova in 1994. To order: http://www.frif.com/cat97/f-j/japan_dr.html

THE CREATIVE SPIRIT, sponsored by IBM and aired by PBS (1992), was a 4-hour series based on my book CREATED IN JAPAN (1990). http://www.ambrosevideo.com/displayitem.cfm?vid=458

JAPAN SOCIETY OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA (2004-2005). For the Society's 100th anniversary in Oct. 2005, I prepared a photobook and DVD covering the past and future vision for Japan-Bay Area relations in business, education and culture. http://www.usajapan.org/

TOHOKU UNIVERSITY (April 2007) Videotaped its first Silicon Valley conference with a handycam.

OUTDOOR SPORTS

My outdoor passions are running and surfing between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Check out for cool views of the coast: http:www.californiacoastline.org/

Sign my guestbook and share your passions and projects. I always enjoy meeting writers, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, runners, surfers and their friends.

Come visit me in San Francisco!
