'Gary Hamel', a graduate of Andrews University and the
Ross School of Business at the
University of Michigan is the
CEO of
Strategos, an international
management consulting firm based in Chicago, and a visiting
Professor of
Strategic Management at
London Business School. He is the originator (with
C. K. Prahalad) of the concept of
core competencies. He is also the director of the Woodside Institute, a nonprofit research foundation based in Woodside, California.
He was formerly a Visiting
Professor of International Business at the
University of Michigan (Ph.D. 1990) and at Harvard Business School. His academic standing took a dent soon after publication of the hardback version of ''Leading the Revolution'', in which he had written a very positive profile of
Enron.
Following the poor reception of ''Leading the Revolution'', Hamel began work on resilience in business strategy. He wrote of the concept in a 2003 Harvard Business Review article entitled "The Quest for Resilience"
