Jamie Anderson Biography
Professor Jamie Anderson has been named as one of the world's top 25 management thinkers by the Business Strategy Review journal, alongside internationally renowned thought leaders such as Gary Hamel, Philip Kotler and Henry Mintzberg. Another industry magazine recently included Jamie as one of the 'top 40 under 40' most influential young business minds worldwide. He is an experienced and adept after dinner speaker, and keynote speaker on business and management issues.
Jamie’s case study of Lady Gaga was featured in the Financial Times, and Jamie has developed a keynote presentation around the Gaga story which focuses on lessons from her success for business. Lady Gaga is a living example of the concept ‘leadership projection’ and has strategically innovated in the music industry by re-defining customers, re-defining music as an art form, and leveraging new technologies to connect with her market. Jamie relates all of these lessons to practicing managers.
Background and Career
Jamie has held permanent and visiting positions at some of the world's top business schools, such London Business School, IMD and the University of Melbourne. His research and teaching focuses on strategy, innovation and brand-building in the art and luxury goods industries, and he is just as likely to talk about Picasso, Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst as he is to discuss Hermes, Cartier or Patek Philippe. Jamie's articles have appeared in publications such as California Management Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, the Financial Times and Wall Street Journal, and he has appeared as a business commentator on BBC World, CNBC and CNN.
Jamie is passionate about the lessons that all businesses and investors can learn from the art and luxury goods industries, and his 2011 book 'The Fine Art of Success' was recently featured in The Economist. The content from the book provides the material for a range of different keynote talks that address very real business issues such as how to sustain competitive advantage, how to innovate, how to increase the value of contemporary art, and how to build multi-million dollar luxury brands. He often follows his presentations with book signings.

Jamie presented a keynote on the elements of successful strategy to a group of 250 managers and staff from the Otto Group. He used the unusual but highly entertaining case study of Madonna to communicate his message, and despite the size of the group was able to generate a high degree of energy and interaction. The reactions were consistently positive and the case study was well balanced to reach all hierarchies in the audience.
Jamie was the keynote speaker for our annual Project Management conference in 2009 and, according to delegate feedback, was the best speaker we have had in the 6 year series. I would definitely consider using Jamie again. He has a powerful, pugnacious, challenging style which makes a big impact on an audience.
As the director of the Global Executive Learning network called: 'the world we work in' (website: see below) I work together with Jamie on a regular basis. He contributes to our flagship Executive Development courses for Accenture, ARCADIS and Ericsson. He is an innovative thinker who bridges the academic and the corporate world with ease and who is able to respond to pragmatic as well as conceptual questions. He has got a fun and dynamic presentation style and he is able to convince at board level quickly. 'The fine art of success' is his recent book and also an autobiographical story. He explains how Madonna or Damien Hurst became successful based on incredible in depth knowledge and case studies. It is a humorous and insightful story of both leadership and strategy. He easily holds his grounds and captures a CXO or Senior Executive audience in large groups or after dinner speeches. He receives among the highest scores in our network (4.5 - 4.8 out of 5).
It was a pleasure having Jamie in Hamburg, the case study of Madonna was extraordinary and thrilling. The reactions from our team were excellent, the topic is fitting perfectly to our actual situation in our textile department.
