Albert Einstein said “no problem can be solved using the same set of assumptions that created it. ”
Inspired by this belief, I use tools and knowledge from my varied personal and professional experience to empower organizations and their leaders to think in new ways and deliver measurable, impactful results…global companies like Harley-Davidson, Nike, Microsoft, TOYOTA, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Du Pont, Genzyme, PIMCO, Pfizer and many others.
My consulting has sparked innovation across diverse fields such as Biotechnology, Aerospace, Consumer Products, Finance and Manufacturing. They are linked by the my customized application of Systems Thinking, Design Science, Finance and Organizational behavior. My success in organizational transformation is largely due to my expertise in business innovation and leadership development. My hallmark business theory – the Innovation Equation – is a systematic way to build Functional Innovation into an organization and align its leaders into a culture of continued growth and development. The results of my change efforts have been
profiled in multiple Harvard Business School case studies.
“In one meeting, Bob understood me and suggested new leadership strategies that made an
immediate difference in my effectiveness. He really got me and my business.”
