“Kaihan is truly an extraordinary, world-class thinker, strategist and disruptive innovation practitioner.   His books and talks demonstrate his ability to sense and elevate trends and disruptive forces when they are still fringe, to use his vast strategic understanding and cross-industry experience to clearly illuminate unheard-of but potent INSIGHTS (e.g., keys to driving large-scale innovation in companies through engaging employees) and a remarkable ability to ACTIVATE those insights in ways that resonate with practitioners in the field who struggle with transforming theory into action. His ability to drive clarity and offer actionable frameworks and approaches is unparalleled.  And his ability to 'connect the dots' across his vast network of other leading thinkers (see his OUTTHINKER podcast), and his ability to facilitate on-the-ground feedback from strategists in industry (I am part of his OUTTHINKER network) is truly exemplary.  I gain meaningful, novel insights in each of my interactions with Kaihan, and the forums he leads -- these have been pivotal in shaping work I do and initiatives I spearhead as Chief Strategy Officer at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts.  Finally, Kaihan's style is equally extraordinary -- he is exceptionally sincere, humble and inviting of others' perspectives and creates an inspiring and engaging forum for others.   Having had the pleasure of working with many brilliant minds in the past both as a partner at Oliver Wyman, and at Harvard Business School, I can say unreservedly that Kaihan is 'tops' in my book.”
