Dr Oren Harari's energetic, dynamic presentations excite and challenge
audiences around the world with insight, humor and knowledge. Dr Harari brings
provocative new perspectives on competitive advantage, organizational change
and transformational leadership. As a leading management consultant and
best-selling author, he brings over 20 years of seasoned professional
experience to the public speaking forum.
The Financial Times has cited Dr. Harari as one of the "Top 40 Business and
Management Minds in the World" and featured him in the fall 2001 book Business
Minds. Harari believes that, in the chaotic competitiveness of today's markets,
bold and often radical management approaches are the key to top performance. He
has also found that long-term financial success depends primarily on leaders'
abilities to capitalize on globalization and technological advance and to
launch dramatic breakthroughs in innovation, service, collaboration, mobility
and speed.
In his eight books, Dr. Harari describes the strategic decisions and leadership
behaviors that propel organizations into a successful position of competitive
advantage. His most recent publication, Break From The Pack, was chosen as the
January 2007 Book of the Month by the Institute for Management Studies. His
2002 book, The Leadership Secrets of Colin Powell, reached the best-seller
lists of The New York Times, BusinessWeek, and The Wall St. Journal. In this
book, Harari outlines 16 elegant principles of leadership, which he has drawn
from Powell's career. He then applies those principles to corporate and
government arenas and demonstrates what transformational leaders do to take
their organizations to new heights. In 2003, Harari wrote the follow-up
corporate handbook The Powell Principles.
In 2000, Dr. Harari co-authored a revolutionary book, Beep Beep! Competing in
the Age of the Road Runner. This book received rave reviews from Michael Dell,
U.S. Chamber of Commerce CEO Thomas Donahue and Fast Company founding editor,
Alan Webber, among others. The book focuses on thriving in a globally
networked, real-time "Road Runner" marketplace.
Dr. Harari also penned the best-seller Leapfrogging The Competition: Five Giant
Steps To Becoming A Market Leader, published by Prima. He was co-author of
Jumping The Curve: Innovation And Strategic Choice In An Age of Transition
(1994). Charles Schwab is quoted on the book jacket thus: "If I were to
recommend that my managers read just one business book this year, Jumping the
Curve would be it."
As a senior consultant with the Tom Peters Group from 1984 to 1996, Harari was
one of its most requested speakers. From 1997 to 1999, Harari was the first
