Counterpoint was set up in 2003 by Dr Sarah Walton to advise and support organisations to become digital. Digital requires cultural change. She loves helping organisations innovate and grow.
She works on the cutting edge of digital with cognitive computing, AI, VR and digital identity as well as running programmes to kick off new stuff. She’s also an agile coach and has mentored start up entrepreneurs and civil servants.
Sarah set up a dot com in 1994 with digital text guru Frode Hegland. They went to Silicon Valley and learnt a lot about digital. Doug Engelbart (co-inventor of the internet) was on their management team and Ted Nelson (inventor of hypertext) was a strong supporter of their first company.
Sarah continues to speak at industry & academic events and regularly speaks at Digital Identity events, particularly advocating Digital and Digital ID Inclusion and the need to ethically support those who cannot, or do not wish to have a Digital Identity. She advocates Digital ID must be an enabler to access to services for all, not a mechanism that creates exclusion.
