Gary Hamel is one of the world’s most influential and iconoclastic business thinkers, renowned for his foundational work on strategic intent, core competence, and management innovation. A Professor at the London Business School for over 30 years and Director of the Management Lab, he has earned a reputation for challenging the status quo to build organizations "fit for the future." Fortune magazine describes him as “the world’s leading expert on business strategy.”
Hamel's ground-breaking concepts have fundamentally changed the language and practice of management globally. He is the most-reprinted author in the history of the Harvard Business Review, where he has contributed over 20 articles. His landmark books, translated into more than 25 languages, include the bestsellers Humanocracy and The Future of Management, in which he presents a practical blueprint for reinventing management around principles like openness, community, and meritocracy.
His work inside organizations is equally pioneering, focused on leading transformational efforts that have created billions of dollars in shareholder value. Highlights include building one of the world’s first "idea markets" inside a global energy leader and orchestrating a comprehensive effort to turn a venerable manufacturer into one of the world's most innovative companies. This deep experience informs his practical guidance on using tools like crowdsourcing and online platforms to accelerate strategic change. Ranked by The Wall Street Journal as the world’s most influential business thinker, Hamel is a highly sought-after management speaker on the critical topics of strategy, leadership, innovation, and change.
