about me

These days I'm busy at Babson - I hold the President's Chair in Information Technology and Management at Babson College where I mostly teach MBA students about decision-making.

I’m also helping to get the International Institute for Analytics going.

My most recent book, Analytics at Work: Smarter Decisions, Better Results, (with Jeanne Harris and Bob Morison) was published in February, 2010. It continues our work on the themes we introduced in Competing on Analytics: The New Science of Winning. Those ideas were named one of the “management ideas of the millennium (so far)” by Harvard Business Review editors, and the HBR article I wrote on this topic in 2006 was named one of the “Ten Must Read” articles in HBR’s history.

The book before those on analytics, Thinking for a Living: How to Get Better Performances And Results from Knowledge Workers, was well received; here's a mention in The Economist.

What’s the Big Idea: Creating and Capitalizing on the Best Management Thinking was named one of the three best books of the Spring 2003 season by Fortune magazine.

Here's a list of all my books. >>

In 2003 I was named one of the Top 25 consultants in the world by Consulting magazine. In 2007 and 2008 I was named one of the 100 most influential people in the IT industry by Ziff-Davis magazines. I have been on various lists of management gurus, one of which I created myself!

I'm available for speaking engagements and consulting.

In addition to Babson, I’ve taught at Boston University, the University of Chicago, the Dartmouth Tuck School of Business, Harvard Business School, and the University of Texas. I have consulted and directed research centers at Ernst & Young, McKinsey & Company, and CSC Index, and Accenture.

I've written, co-authored or edited thirteen books, including the first books on business process reengineering, knowledge management, and the business use of enterprise systems.

I've also written hundreds of articles and columns for such publications as Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management Review, California Management Review, Financial Times, Information Week, CIO and many others.
