President and founder of Delphi Group; named one of the industry’s six most influential consultants by InformationWeek; author of eight books; Innovation Executive in Residence at Bentley University, lecturer at the Boston College Graduate school of management and Harvard; and frequent contributor to national and international print and broadcast media, Tom Koulopoulos is one of the most prolific thought leaders in the country. His insights provide a beyond-the-edge view of the turbulence created by the collision of technology and business. Tom Peters has called his writing, “a brilliant vision of where we must take our enterprises to survive and thrive.” The late management guru and 20th Century business icon Peter Drucker, said of Koulopoulos’ writing “[it]makes you question not only the way you run your business but the way you run yourself.” His latest book, The Innovation Zone, (www.theinnovationzone.com) looks at how we can overcome individual and organizational inertia the create breakthrough innovation, and his upcoming book, The Social Economy, will examine the ways in which organizations will leverage the power of social networks, influence, relationships, personalization and trust by creating brands that people are drawn to not only because of their reputation but because of their ability to align with the values and personal interests of buyers.
