About Me

Stephen Collins is the Founder and Chief Troublemaker at acidlabs.

He specialises in social computing as a tool to effect change in organisational knowledge sharing, the Knowledge Worker 2.0 and their place in 21st Century business, teaching, sharing, collaborating, information architecture and user experience, getting stuff done and having a good time while we do it and solving problems in a unique way.

He is a frequently self-appointed tricky problem solver driven by a need to help people and organisations effect change in their capacity to retain, distribute and share knowledge. He enjoys facilitating positive organisational cultural change around breaking down siloed, selfish attitudes to knowledge. Stephen is more than a little passionate about leveraging great social applications as a way to help people and organisations do their jobs better.

He is equally able to think at 40000′ and down among the weeds and deals with challenges creatively with more than a touch of the maverick, approaching them as a way to improve intellectual agility while adding real value for his clients.

Stephen writes on matters (mostly) related to the work of acidlabs at the acidlabs blog. He is a member of the Social Media Collective, a diverse group of bloggers, consultants, investors, journalists and analysts who represent the Web’s best thinking on social media, marketing and Web 2.0.

Stephen is a member of the Information Architecture Institute and Usability Professionals Association and is also a life member of Electronic Frontiers Australia and an Electronic Frontier Foundation member.
