Author of eight books, founder of Delphi Group, past director of the Babson Center for Business Innovation and the Perot Systems Innovation Lab, Koulopoulos is one of the most prolific lecturers, writers and pundits on the topic of innovation and creativity.
Koulopoulos combines deep knowledge with an unequaled passion and an amazing ability to clarify the most complex topics. It's why luminaries such as the late Peter Drucker and management guru Tom Peters have praised his writting and why Forbes.com called him a Business Visionary. His latest book, The Innovation Zone looks at the cornerstones of innovation in successful companies.
