About

Precursor® is a unique macro-Internet, specialty guide, strategic advisor, and consultant for corporate CEOs who value all their stakeholders as essential and as people; seek to best steer and steward all stakeholders through the most chaotic part of the firm’s business environment; and thus need the best available macro-Internet expertise, acumen, and advice.

  • As the lone leaders realistically responsible for knowing and navigating their firm’s Big Picture, CEOs must know and navigate the macro-Internet part of their business environment, that realistically most determines their firm’s future.
  • Imagine being a leading CEO today and macroeconomics and climatology macro-knowledge was never created and did not exist. That’s the same macro knowledge gap and situation that CEOs suffer from today. Why? The Internet geosystem has proven uniquely cryptic, complex, conflictive, chaotic, contrived, and corrupt.

For the first time, corporate CEOs have the opportunity to choose to not have the serious, strategic vulnerability of a macro-Internet blindside and blind spot encompassing the most important — but least researched — half of their business environment and outlook. They also can choose to stay ahead — and on the right side of — current and developing macro-Internet changes with eagle eyes, not with an ostrich head in-the-sand.

Precursor® can empower CEOs’ success by focusing on the corporations’ macro-Internet business environment, to empower CEOs to better anticipate change, the origin of most commercial risk and opportunity, and to better navigate the macro-Internet chaos for all stakeholders: customers, employees, suppliers, communities, and shareholders.

For CEOs who value all stakeholders, and for Precursor® — ‘People are the purpose’. That’s because most stakeholders are people and Internet users, just like the five billion Internet users globally are people who use the Internet every day.

Macrointernetics®

Recognizing the shocking dearth of useful, holistic macro-Internet analysis and innovation in the marketplace six years ago, Scott Cleland committed to discover and  innovate where others were not, to create the best macro-Internet knowledge, insight, and predictability. Since then, Cleland has conceived, researched, invented, and pioneered an innovative, proprietary, macro-Internet change research discipline, trademarked as Macrointernetics®. It now fills a prior problematic gap in critical, practical, and actionable macro-Internet knowledge, savvy, and expertise.

  • It is the study, discipline, and knowledge of the macro-Internet’s unique, permissionless, geosystem, structure, performance, designs, decisions, changes, dynamics, behaviors, incentives, standards, assumptions, cause-effects, risk-rewards, and externalities for the macro-Internet as a whole nationally and globally.
  • Its practical purposes are to increase Internet predictability and integrity, to better anticipate, alert, and advise clients.
  • It is to the Internet what macroeconomics is to the global economy.
  • It has no existing competitor.
