Kaihan Krippendorff is the author of "The Art of the Advantage" (Thomson TEXERE 2003) and the President of The Strategy Learning Center, a business education firm. A former consultant with McKinsey & Company, Kaihan has held various senior management positions in the consulting, investment banking, and retail sectors. He serves large and medium-sized companies including Microsoft, Fidelity, and Pfizer. He holds an MBA from Columbia Business School and London Business School, a BSE in Finance from the Wharton School of Business, and a BSE in Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Engineering.

He helps organizations outthink their competition by showing that our typical problem-solving approaches unnecessarily limit our options and that, by adding a fundamentally different, creative approach to our toolkits, we can more consistently see "winning moves" that our competitors ignore. He blends the disciplines of competitive strategy, innovation, cognition, and Eastern philosophy to build strategic creativity throughout organizations.
