If you want breakthrough business insight for your next business gathering, Peter wrote the book that redefines competitive advantage for the next fifty years. He brings that knowledge to life in his provocative talks that deliver just one outcome: actionable information for executives determined to dominate in the decade ahead. Never the same, each talk is tailored to meet the individual needs of your company. 

Peter's presentation provided both content and clarity. The content was insightful and visionary, but pragmatic. The clarity allowed Peter to connect with our combined business and technology audience --no small challenge. His presentation was stimulating and his enthusiasm contagious. 
--Gregory D. Tranter, CIO, Allmerica Financial

--David L. Wells, Director of Education, The Data Warehousing Institute

E-business is not just about business. It's not just about technology. It's inseparably about both! Peter is one of the few people that can fuse both aspects for combined technology and business audiences.  Equally comfortable in the Board Room or the Computer Room, his insight, passion and thought leadership bring compelling value to his Seminars, Workshops,  Briefings and Keynotes.

His recent groundbreaking books, Business Process Management: The Third Wave, The Real-Time Enterprise, Enterprise E-Commerce and The Death of 'e' and the Birth of the Real New Economy, are international best-sellers recognized for their thought leadership.

In July 2001, The Death of 'e' was ranked as the No.1 book on the new economy, and dubbed by Internet World as the "must-read book of the year."

Peter has served as Technology Advocate for a Boston-based developer of component-based B2B e-business for clients including GE TPN, American Express, Master Card and GE Capital. He recently served as a strategy consultant for a $100 million Internet Infrastructure start-up in the Middle East. He has held technical and management positions with GTE Data Services, the Arabian American Oil Company, American Software and Computer Services and Perot System's Technical Resource Connection. He served as Director of Information Technology for the University of Tampa and as an object technology consultant for IBM Global Services. Peter has written six books on busines and technology, presented conference papers worldwide and published numerous professional articles. He taught graduate and undergraduate university computing studies in the United States and abroad. He has played an active role in promoting the commercial applications of advanced technology for competitive advantage.

Now that doing business on the Internet is reaching the mainstream, it's no longer e-business or e-commerce --it's just business and commerce. Peter takes the mystery out of the deep and profound changes being ushered in by the ability to connect anyone-to-anyone or any computer-to-any-computer across the globe in real-time. His books and speaking signal the death of the e-hype and the beginning of the real work of building hyper-efficient, hyper-effective corporations that will continue to thrive in the years ahead.

Peter's talks and seminars systematically disassemble an enterprise's business processes, core competencies, and value chains; then reassembles them into dynamic customer-driven value webs and business ecosystems. Along the way, Peter explains the emerging business models of  collaborative commerce, digital strategies, and Business Process Management.

Rather than throwing out the established fundamentals of business (the rules of the so called "old economy"), Peter builds on and extends the recognized work of the thought leaders that have shaped today’s business world: Michael Porter's value chain analysis, Hammer and Champy's business process reengineering, Hamel and Prahalad's industry reinvention, Rummler and Braches's management of the white space on the organization chart, Kaplan and Norton's balanced scorecard, Peter Drucker's management wisdom, Tom Davenport's business process innovation, and Edwards Deming's quality management.

Peter's seminar provides the "business aha's" GE's legendary CEO Jack Welch got after being introduced to the Internet by his former wife, Jane. In fact, the Death of "e" book is dedicated to Jane Welch, First Lady of the Real New Economy. Welch launched his "Destroy your business.com before some upstart in a Silicon Valley garage does!" campaign in 1999 and challenged all of GE’s line-of-business executives to "Grow your business.com" by reinventing every aspect --buy, make and sell-- of their business units. Welch "got it," realizing that the Internet is about business transformation, not a Web site --that what's Really New in the Real Economy.
