Chairman of Perot Systems

As chairman of Perot Systems, James Champy helps top businesses around the world vault obstacles to continued growth.

In his latest books, X-Engineering: The Next Frontier and The Arc of Ambition Champy rouses both individuals and organizations to take a fresh look at what they really want to achieve, and the radical changes necessary. For organizations, he looks at four distinct areas ? business strategy, management and operations, organizational change and IT. Then he shows how X-Engineering (read « Cross-Engineering »), achieves integration via the Internet, to enhance speed and improve efficiency.

The goal is a company without walls that connects with its customers and partners in a web of interaction ? the ultimate goal being enhanced value to the customer.

A monthly columnist for Fast Company, he challenges individuals to relish change; to welcome transparency, share ideas and gain control by giving it up. Renowned for his contribution to the seminal business best seller Reengineering the Corporation: A Manifesto for Business Revolution, Jim Champy is a great speaker.
