Welcome to Always Scheming! My name is Matt Dion.
Always Scheming is a research consultancy focused on the future of interactive entertainment.
My research philosophy is underpinned by the notion that big ideas often start out as little more than toys or games. This concept, adapted from the theory of disruptive innovation coined by Harvard professor Clayton Christensen (author of The Innovator’s Dilemma) and further popularized by investor Chris Dixon, is the current that runs through all of the content you’ll find here.
Always Scheming is also dedicated to the businesses that spring forth from these big ideas, which is where I come in.
I founded Always Scheming to provide top-notch research and thought-provoking content to the companies, investors, and creators building the future of interactive entertainment.
If I can be of service to your organization or if you’d like to learn more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
