Stan Davis is unanimously considered one of the world's most distinguished business experts. In a rapidly changing business environment, he offers a fresh perspective that draws from his vast experience as an independent strategy and management consultant and an award-winning author whose books have sold over a million copies worldwide and are published in fifteen languages. He consistently weeds out the buzzwords to focus on the fundamentals that he sees as necessary for the formation of solid and sustaining business strategies. With a doctorate in the social sciences and an honorary doctorate in humanities, he spent two decades on the faculties of the Harvard Business School, and Columbia and Boston Universities. When he found academic life had become more and more about less and less, he moved on to more entrepreneurial activities in order to stay intellectually alive and became a highly influential business consultant and writer.

In today's business environment, Davis's understanding of the differences between short-term, cyclical and fundamental changes is more essential than ever. Stressing how invaluable it is for businesses to understand the larger context in which they operate, he is a trusted voice. At the podium, he provides a crucial perspective that is based on technological, business and global economic trends, ultimately providing corporate leaders with the keys for adapting. He also takes a new look at the concept of leadership by each employee, focusing both externally and internally, to retain business growth and productivity and build new forms of organization.

Davis has shared his industry-leading expertise in twelve groundbreaking books. His most recent book, the essential Lessons from the Future, contains some of his most visionary business thinking. His 1998 must-read Blur was a BusinessWeek bestseller, and his best-selling 2020 Vision was named the best management book of 1991 by Fortune magazine.

Davis's articles have been featured in Forbes, TIME, Harvard Business Review and numerous other international business magazines. Always in demand by corporations, his consulting has included senior executives at Apple, AT&T, Bank of America, Cap Gemini, Citibank, Ernst & Young, Ford, JPMorgan Chase, KPMG, Marriott, Mercedes-Benz, Met Life and Sun Microsystems.
