More about our guest:
Peter Compo is the author of “The Emergent Approach to Strategy: Adaptive Design & Execution.” Unlike many strategy authors from universities and consulting firms, Compo’s professional experience was spent working in the “corporate trenches” at E. I. DuPont. Hired as a research scientist, he held leadership positions in product management, marketing, supply chain, business management, and integrated business planning. He left DuPont after 25 years to work full-time on developing the Emergent Approach.
Dr. Compo hails from a multi-generational family of musicians. However, he went on to earn a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the City University of New York before joining DuPont. His mission is to create a new level of clarity on strategy theory and practice to enable organizations in any domain to innovate and achieve their aspirations.
