Conference Highlight: Author and Management Educator Jim Collins
Have you registered for our 15th Annual Conference in Atlanta? We can’t wait to see you there! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be providing you with an inside look at some of our outstanding events and renowned keynote speakers. This week, we want to introduce you to Author and Management Educator Jim Collins. His keynote address, Great by Choice will shed light on why some companies thrive in uncertainty, even chaos, and others do not. Touching on similar themes, the prolific author’s most recent book GREAT BY CHOICE: Uncertainty, Chaos, and Luck—Why Some Thrive Despite Them All, is the result of nine years of research and rigorous analysis, and is a must read for anyone looking to get ahead in these tough economic times.
Jim brings with him a unique path to success. The avid rock-climber began his research and teaching career at Stanford Graduate School of Business where he was awarded the Distinguished Teaching Award in 1992. Three years later, he founded a management laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, where he continues to conduct research and consultations with both corporate and social sector executives. In addition to working with CEOs at over a hundred companies, Jim holds degrees in business administration and mathematical sciences from Stanford University, and honorary doctoral degrees from the University of Colorado and the Peter F. Drucker Graduate School of Management at Claremont Graduate University.
