TAPSCOTT, Don
Chairman, Moxie Insight
Author, Macrowikinomics and Grown Up Digital,
Tapscott is one of the world’s leading authorities on innovation, media and the economic and social impact of technology and advises business and government leaders around the world.
He has authored or co-authored 14 widely read books including the 1992 bestseller Paradigm Shift. His 1995 hit The Digital Economy changed thinking around the world about the transformational nature of the internet and two years later he defined the Net Generation and the “digital divide” in Grown Up Digital. His 2000 work, Digital Capital, introduced seminal ideas like “the business web” and was described by BusinessWeek as “pure enlightenment." Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything was the best-selling management book in 2007 and translated into over 25 languages.
The Economist called his newest work Macrowikinomics: Rebooting Business and the World a “Schumpeterian story of creative destruction” and The Huffington Post said the book is “nothing less than a game plan to fix a broken world.” Over 30 years, he has introduced many groundbreaking concepts that are part of contemporary understanding. In 2011, Tapscott was named to the Thinkers50 Definitive List of the Top 50 Business Thinkers in the World, earning the ninth spot on the list. He was also a runner-up as the World's Leading Thinker on Globalization, and Macrowikinomics was runner up for The Best Business Book of the Last Two Years.
His work continues as the Chairman of Moxie Insight, a member of the World Economic Forum and as an Adjunct Professor of Management for the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto.
