  • #167 Eddie Obeng, The All Change Guy, (Part 2)

    This week I have part two of my chat with Professor Eddie Obeng PhD, MBA.

    About Eddie
    Described by the Financial Times as a 'leading revolutionary' and 'agent provocateur', Eddie is a
    professor at the School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Henley Business School, founder
    and Learning Director of Pentacle The Virtual Business School, and a leading business theorist,
    innovator and educator.
    “The Rock Star of Business Education" Duke Corporate Education
    He is the author of ten books including two Financial Times bestsellers and the ever popular All
    Change! Eddie writes on a wide range of subjects connected by the themes of adapting for change,
    leadership, innovation and organisation. His books offer insights into the most effective ways to
    address the rapidly-changing, disruptive environments in business, society and culture today. His
    writing and teaching and concepts have been incorporated in 40% of the FT100.
    “His books are an antidote to the dryness of much managerial theorising. Old World they
    are not!” Financial Times
    Known as a pioneer in digital transformation, design thinking and organisational agility, he provides
    a no-nonsense overview about how traditional rules of doing business no longer apply while offering
    extensive guidance to reach new heights in fast-changing business environments. He is a regular
    speaker at TED, Thinking Digital, Poptech, Google Zeitgeist, USI, Communitech and Gartner
    Conferences.
    "The remarkable Eddie Obeng" Chris Anderson TED
    Eddie was one of the first to recognise that traditional processes, face-to-face working and software
    solution add-ons can never deliver solutions needed in a volatile and uncertain globally competitive
    world. He invented QUBE to solve this. QUBE combines new behaviours in collaboration with tools
    specifically developed for fast ease of use within a modern productive culture. QUBE has been
    adopted by a wide range of organsiations including, Danone, JDE, Dentsu Aegis Network and the UK
    National Health Service for day-to-day working, Project delivery and Learning and Development.
    "QUBE, an innovative virtual world from Pentacle The Virtual Business School"
    Financial Times
    Eddie was educated at Cranleigh School, at University College London, where he earned a double
    first in chemical and biochemical engineering, and Cass Business School. He was granted 2 patents
    during his engineering career at Shell International and achieved a European award for energy
    efficient design at Unilever before moving to Ashridge in 1987 where he became the youngest
    Executive Director of a European Business School. In 2011 Eddie won the Sir Monty Finniston
    Award for lifetime achievement by The Association for Project Management for his contributions to
    the study and practice of Project Management. As a board member of the UK Design Council setting
    design strategy for the UK, Eddie contributed to the development of the world famous 'Double
    Diamond' Design Thinking model. His 4 box “Innovation Sparq” model is the framework for all the
    UK's strategic investment in innovation. He is also a helicopter pilot.
