More about Keith Yamashita:
He’s “the most influential consultant you’ve never heard of,” according to Fast Company magazine, a self-described “studier of organizational dysfunction,” and a fast-moving creative strategist who uses both sides of his brain to help CEO’s articulate their visions and put them to work. Yamashita holds a BA in Qualitative Economics and an MA in Organizational Behavior from Stanford University, and has more than 15 years of experience in articulating the visions of CEO’s and companies such as America Online, Apple Computer, Hewlett-Packard, Mercedes-Benz, Netscape, Nike, and Sony. With his Stone Partners team—an unlikely combination of business strategists, designers, writers, Internet experts, an ex-attorney, and a poet—he works alongside executive teams to catalyze change and create sustained competitive advantage. His newly published book (UN) Stuck, is available now. Yamashita lives in San Francisco, California.
