    An incredibly popular speaker and author, 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, customer care, collaboration, mobility and speed.

    In his seven books, Dr. Harari describes the strategic decisions and leadership behaviors that propel organizations into a successful position of competitive advantage. His 2002 book The Leadership Secrets of Colin Powell, reached the bestseller lists of The New York Times, BusinessWeek and The Wall St. Journal. In this book, Harari applies 16 elegant principles of leadership 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. The book received rave reviews by Michael Dell, U.S. Chamber of Commerce CEO Thomas Donahue and Fast Company founding editor, Alan Webber, among others. The book focuses on creating fast, agile, innovative organizations that will thrive in today's globally networked, real-time "Road Runner" marketplace.

    Dr. Harari also penned the 1999 bestseller Leapfrogging the Competition: Five Giant Steps to Becoming A Market Leader. The first edition was rated by Management General as one of the ten best business books of 1997 and was featured in a two-hour PBS special. Both editions received accolades from Colin Powell, Tom Peters, Michael Dell, Bill Marriott and Target CEO Bob Ulrich, to name a few. Harari also co-authored the best-selling book Jumping the Curve: Innovation and Strategic Choice in an Age of Transition, which was rated by the prestigious Library Journal as one of the top 40 business books in 1994. Said Charles Schwab on the book jacket: "If I were to recommend that my managers read just one business book this year, Jumping the Curve would be it."

    Currently, Dr. Harari is writing his next book, which describes the most critical strategic challenges and opportunities for organizations during the remainder of the first decade of this new millennium. In particular, he will outline what leaders can do to position their organizations for competitive success in a transparent marketplace where the rate of imitation and commoditization is accelerating dramatically.

    As a senior consultant with the Tom Peters Group from 1984-1996, Harari was one of its most requested speakers. From 1997-1999, he was the first designated "management expert" for Time Vista, Time magazine's direct resources interactive website for businesses around the world. Dr. Harari was a senior columnist for Management Review from 1991-2000, and for the following two years he was the lead columnist for the online magazine Mworld.org, the American Management Association's informational website for the management community. He has also written articles for publications as diverse as Harvard Business Review, Business Strategy Review, Executive Excellence and many others.

    Harari currently sits on the board of directors of two startup companies and is also on the board of The Integrity Institute, which is dedicated to elevating the integrity of corporations and capital markets. He is also a member of the Advisory Committee on Management and Leadership for the U.S. State Department.
