Contributor Profiles

Christopher S. Rollyson is the founder of The Global Human Capital Journal and its current Editor in Chief. He has been a been a visionary and pioneer in innovation and enterprise transformation for over 15 years. As a management consultant and marketing executive at several Big Four and boutique firms, he has had a leading role in launching such game-changing offerings as: Java with Sun, e-business transformation with PwC Consulting, and SOA, Web services and architecture solutions with nVISIA and IBM.

Chris currently advises global enterprises on corporate strategy along two axes:

• Consumer Empowerment represents a rare set of opportunities and threats for global enterprises because Web 2.0 is giving individuals a powerful collective voice. This offering helps companies begin to collaborate directly with customers, improving competitiveness through front-of-the-house customer-facing innovation.
• Transourcing™ is a new evolutionary approach for back-of-the-house innovation. Its mission is to practice outsourcing to develop "Strategic Outsourcing Competencies" that maximize cost savings and are subsequently reused to engage partners for innovation to drive the top line.

Having had visible roles in several adoption curves that presented elevated opportunities and threats for global enterprises, Chris strongly feels that the emergence of the global Knowledge Economy will be the most dynamic yet: globalization is rapidly taking place in the supply of knowledge services and in consumption (hence "Global Human Capital"). He has lived in four countries and speaks several languages.
