His latest book “Levers of Engagement” maps the levers of just and humanistic leadership, as well as a simple and novel way to measure an executive’s level of leadership, which, in turn, brings about a paradigm shift in terms of how people are managed.

Creator of the famous IpOp model, he has coached more than 280 intrapreneurial projects since he started helping companies boost their bottom-up innovation capabilities. The rigor of his pre-project analysis tools has enabled many companies to improve the success rate of their innovations and to take better advantage of disruptions in technological or business models. He is considered to be one of the leading experts in intrapreneurship worldwide.

As an expert in executive education, he helps senior executives master complexity with humor. Since 2001, he has been academic director of the “Entrepreneurial Leadership” specialization of the EMBA at the University of Geneva. He created the first entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship education programs at several prestigious schools, such as the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL). He also created the MicroMBA/AgilityBooster training programs, which lead participants to identify and implement real innovation projects for their organizations, that generate more revenue than the cost of the training. This customization of academic content to the practical needs of an organization increases the agility and innovation capabilities of its employees and their leadership skills.
