Peter G. W. Keen

I've published over fifty books in almost exactly fifty years, mainly business books and ones on information technology, innovation, and organizational development. And tea.

I've been a professor at leading business and technological universities, including Harvard, MIT and Stanford in the US and Mexico’s EGADE, Nanyang in Singapore, Delft TU, Holland and Stockholm University. I was named in surveys as one of the top 100 business thought leaders and top 10 IT consultants globally.

That was my work Tea is my avocation and full-time activity.

Heroines of Tea is my third tea book, with two more to be published in the Fall of 2018. I am the Contributing Editor for Tea Journey magazine and Tea Editor for STiR magazine. The focus of Heroines is on bringing to life the rich history of tea as a force of innovation in social reform, trade, cultures, literature, science, technology and so many other fields. My next book,Tomorrow's Teas, shifts to teh future: the innovation path of biogenetics, precision agriculture, DNA fingerprinting, climate change mitigation and blockchain.

Tea is my pleasure and interest. I love it and enjoy sharing that delight.

I also love the process of writing--daily, always and with the same pained enjoyment runners get. I've been a professor at leading business schools across the world for almost forty years and have taught in around thirty countries, which gives me the research and education base for my work.

I am a translator between worlds. I explain technology to business people and business to technology managers. I'm an academic who works in organizations and a consultant who is a professor. I'm a European who lives in the US and was born in Singapore. I am also an unregenerate Eng Lit major in a technology and business field.

It's all in the writing. I hope that my books offer substance and clarity. I've been ranked in a number of surveys as one of the world's top 100 thought leaders in business, the most cited researcher in the academic and business literature, and among the top ten IT consultants. I'm proud of that and the Distinguished Professorships I've held and just as proud of the long-term relationships I built with some great leaders of companies, a number of whom have acknowledged in print my strategic contribution to their success.

But it's the writing that I most love. Tea is another world for my exploration, communication and, I hope, contribution to my readers
