Testimonials

“I am fortunate to have spent a number of years with Chuck at Stanford University. Chuck has a wide network and a personal relation to a fair number of the Silicon Valley legends. Many consider him as one among them, having brought for example the computer screen to the market during his tenure as enfant terrible intrapreneur at HP. Chuck's screen was an instrumental part of the first prototype of the PC presented by Doug Engelbart. With that said, I can't think of Chuck as historic, he comes across as much too contemporary. I routinely discuss cutting edge ideas with Chuck, always receiving excellent analysis and advice I recommend Chuck as an advisor to leadership with ambitions of organizational change and to intrapreneurs. He has written an excellent book on this, as well.”

"I’ve collaborated with Chuck at Intel, where we were trying to disrupt the information technology adoption flow from the usual corporate IT paradigm of not rocking the boat to a more lively track of looking far ahead and preparing to adopt – early and vigorously – the best innovative technologies and user behaviors. Chuck’s technological acumen, combined with his ingrained penchant for challenging the status quo, made him a formidable change agent. His deep insight and enthusiastic evangelism around virtual/remote collaboration were instrumental in driving both our vision and our execution in that then-novel domain. Throw in his friendliness and wonderful sense of humor, and you have one of the finest people I’ve had the honor to work with in a long career of fighting the status quo.”

“It is with great pleasure and some measure of trepidation that I attempt to assess Chuck House’s unique personal attributes and major contributions to the profession. Chuck is all of a piece in his combination of professional knowledge, enormous breadth of contacts and personal qualities. He has always been a leader in technological imagination wherever he was. Chuck never stops learning and absorbing new ideas, and also never stops challenging the platitudes and status quo. He thrives on people, and it is totally mutual. There is nobody too minor for Chuck’s attention. And, he is an electrifying presenter—his acerbic yet informative commentary is altogether different from the PR talks from most company spokespeople and consultants.”
