Jeff Dyer (Ph.D UCLA) is a professor of strategy at BYU and at the Wharton School and was one of only 10 professors at University of Pennsylvania to win the University’s top teaching award. Before becoming a professor, Dyer spent five years as a consultant and manager at Bain & Company and was the director of new consultant training when he left. His book The Innovator’s DNA, co-authored with Clayton Christensen and Hal Gregersen, is a bestseller, has been published in 15 languages, and won the 2011 Innovation Book of the Year Award from Chartered Management Institute. His new book, The Innovator’s Method, (with Nathan Furr) is also a business bestseller. Professor Dyer is the only strategy scholar in the world to have published at least six times in both Harvard Business Review and Strategic Management Journal, the top academic journal devoted to strategy. In 2012 he was ranked the world’s #1 “most influential” management scholar (among scholars who completed their PhDs after 1990). This ranking, reported in Academy of Management Perspectives, was based on academic citations (academic influence) and Google searches on his name (business influence). His Oxford published book, Collaborative Advantage, won the Shingo Prize Research Award and his Team Building book (with Gibb Dyer and William Dyer) is in its 5th edition. Professor Dyer’s research has been covered by Forbes, Economist, Fortune, Business Week, Wall Street Journal, CNN, and many other publications.
