Peter M. Senge Ph.D was named a "Strategist of the Century" by the Journal of Business Strategy, one of 24 men and women who have ‘had the greatest impact on the way we conduct business today’ (September/October 1999). While he has studied how firms and organizations develop adaptive capabilities for many years at Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT), it was Peter Senge’s 1990 book The Fifth Discipline that brought him firmly into the limelight and popularized the concept of the ‘learning organization'. Since its publication, more than a million copies have been sold and in 1997, Harvard Business Review identified it as one of the seminal management books of the past 75 years.

Dr. Senge has lectured extensively throughout the world, translating the abstract ideas of systems theory into tools for better understanding of economic and organizational change. He has worked with leaders in business, education, health care and government. His areas of special interest focus on decentralizing the role of leadership in organizations to enhance the capacity of all people to work productively toward common goals. According to Dr. Senge human values are the conerstone of the workplace. Vision, purpose, reflections, and systems thinking are essential for organizations to realize their potentials.
