Who We Are

Q2 Tech is an early-stage R&D company founded by Paul Schoemaker to develop digital management tools in support of such essential organizational processes as planning, innovation, and decision making. Our products and services are customized for clients and funded via licensing fees, subscriptions, and developmental consulting.

Q2 Tech is a pioneer in the fast-growing field of digital tools that integrate hard and soft analyses supported through AI platforms. Our online solutions guide team leaders through the promises and pitfalls of codified methodologies at a lower cost, better outcomes, and more control than when using outside consultants.

Our target clients are leaders in small and large organizations responsible for managing such complex processes as scenario planning, innovation, scanning, and war gaming in key management functions. Govi Rao, Toomas Truumees, and Joe Jacob were early advisors who offered valuable support (along with others).

Finding the Sweet Spot

The Intelligence Enterprise

Working Between

Clocks and Clouds

Karl Popper, the great philosopher of science, divided the world into two categories: clocks are neat, orderly systems

that can be solved through reduction; clouds are an epistemic mess, “highly irregular, disorderly, and more or less unpredictable.

We Focus on Hybrid Cases

Finding Solutions That Yield Better Results

Bridging C.P. Snow's Two Cultures

“Two polar groups: at one pole we have the literary intellectuals, at the other scientists, and as the most representative, the physical scientists. Between the two, a gulf of mutual incomprehension.”

Q2 Tech will tackle any well-grounded and codified organizational processes entailing data, methods, and teamwork,

in order to offer clients a practical, customized do-it-yourself approach that improves over time.

Our sweet spot is merging soft and hard approaches in order to better integrate qualitative and quantitative methods, information, and views.
