Dave Taylor’s Summary
I have a track record of successful products based on emerging and best practices in Virtual Worlds, Web 2.0, New Media, Software Products and 'Serious Games'.
I head up a new unit at Imperial College developing the use of Virtual Worlds for Healthcare. I previously set up and ran the UK National Physical Laboratory’s Virtual Worlds business area.
I am a founder of the SciLands, a Second Life continent for Science and Technology and have managed many social media projects such as ‘Second Health’, a virtual hospital to engage clinician and patient communities and NanoLands, an SL network and islands for the global Nanotechnology community.
Prior to Web 2.0 I was Vice President of Global Web for a leading multinational. Before Web 1.0 I managed Letraset’s European Software business, working with Adobe Systems, Pixar and Apple Computer where I developed an award-winning graphics software product.
I have achieved success through vision, innovation and a rigorous approach to project and relationship management. I have strengths in team motivation, stakeholder consultation and applying my ability to understand technology and providing solutions that deliver improved customer service, new business or reduced costs in accordance with business needs.
I currently use social networks and virtual worlds such as Second Life for stakeholder engagement, business development, brand engagement, knowledge transfer and to facilitate communities of practice and collaboration. My current primary applications expertise is in scientific, technical and healthcare communication, education and process visualisation (e.g. http://www.secondhealth.org.uk and http://www.scilands.org ).
My goal is to continue to explore next generation networking technologies and their application to new sectors, services and markets.
