Opening Address 2011
|
| The Upside of Turbulence |
| Dr Donald Sull, Professor of Management Practice in Strategic and International Management, and Faculty Director, Executive Education, London Business School |
As volatility dethrones incumbent leaders, it also creates untold possibilities to create economic value. Turbulence has an upside, and managers who know how to seize the opportunities arising out of seething markets will become tomorrow's champions. Based on a decade of research, historical case studies, and intensive work with established enterprises and start-ups, Professor Sull will draw lessons from companies that have consistently spotted and exploited opportunities that rivals have missed, lays out the fundamental logic of opportunity, and provides a series of practical steps to translate insight into action.
Dr. Sull is a global authority on how companies compete effectively in turbulent markets. He has been identified as a leading management thinker by The Economist, the Financial Times, and Fortune which named him among the ten new management gurus to know. The Economist listed his theory of active inertia among the ideas that shaped business management over the past century.
As a consultant and management educator, Sull has worked with companies including Mars, Oracle, Nokia, Royal Bank of Canada, Standard Chartered Bank, Emirates Airline, Baker & McKenzie, Burberry, and Schneider Electric.
Sull received his AB, MBA, and doctorate from Harvard, where he taught entrepreneurship at the Harvard Business School before rejoining the London Business School faculty. He directs a week-long course on thriving in turbulent markets and teaches on the Senior Executive Programme. Sull has won teaching awards at both London Business School and Harvard.
Prior to academia, he worked as a consultant with McKinsey & Company, and a management-investor with the leveraged buyout firm Clayton & Dubilier on the Uniroyal-Goodrich Tire Company deal. He remains active in private equity as an investor and advisor to start-up companies.
