“There is this social pressure, thinking pressure, that has us want to repeat what has been done before. When the rules change, it separates thinkers from outthinkers.” – Dr. Kaihan Krippendorff, Founder of growth strategy and innovation consulting firm, Outthinker
Dr. Kaihan Krippendorff is committed to helping organizations and individuals thrive in today’s era of fast-paced disruptive technological change. Kaihan is known for his ability to turn difficult concepts into easy-to-understand ideas that drive meaningful outcomes and actions. He is an internationally recognized thought-leader, battle-tested consultant, and sought-after keynote speaker (in-person and virtual) on the topics of strategy, growth, and transformation.
He began his career with McKinsey & Company before founding the growth strategy and innovation consulting firm Outthinker. His growth strategies and innovations have generated over $2.5B in revenue for many of the world’s most recognizable companies including BNY Mellon, Citibank, L’Oréal, Microsoft, and Viacom. A best-selling author of five books, most recently the Edison Award nominated Driving Innovation From Within: A Guide for Internal Entrepreneurs:
“This smart and wide-ranging book will convince you that it’s often more promising to be an ‘intrapreneur’—someone who innovates from within an established organization—than an entrepreneur. If you work for an organization and are itching to become more creative—to tap the resources of your company to create something amazing—Driving Innovation from Within is an essential read.” --Daniel H. Pink, author of When, Drive, and To Sell Is Human
