Picture?type=square Attending a Bob Tipton session was always the highlight of my conference experience. He has an exceptional talent to present material in a thought-provoking, entertaining way. Not only did he always make me think, but he made me feel. I never left without feeling moved, and remembering his sessions long after I'd forgotten others.

Bio

Robert S. Tipton, CSP, CCP, CDP

(that's a bunch of Cs)

Yes, I've done a few things over the years and people often want to do some research about their prospective speakers. Here are some bio-related highlights (that's biographical, not biological!). Thank you!

I'm a popular and entertaining speaker:

I speak each year to national and international business groups, seminars, conventions, conferences and technology organizations around the world. Not trying to brag (really but some of you like to know things like this), my style has earned me numerous best speaker awards at these events. If you book me, you'll be able to choose among these presentation categories:

  • Getting Your "Being Right" to Ensure Your "Doing" Matters
  • Innovation
  • Strategic planning
  • Organizational development and design
  • Leadership
  • Personal effectiveness and satisfaction

Over the past 30+ years (wow, that must be a typo), I've been:

  • CEO of my own change management consulting firm
  • CEO of my own IT strategies consulting firm
  • CIO of a $1B+ distribution company
  • VP / managing director for the integrated marketing group for a major online agency
  • VP of corporate capabilities and communications for a significant professional services firm
  • SVP of a major technology, strategy and creative company
  • Global vice president of industry technology a major technology consulting firm
  • CTO of a significant IT consulting company

Additionally, I'm also an active writer and author. Here is some of the stuff I've written:

  • Written the book JUMP! Get Unstuck, Extraordinary Life Breakthroughs Using Innovative Change (http://www.OurJUMP.com)
  • Written the book Untangling IT: 25 Years of Lessons in Effective IT Leadership
  • Written more than 300 articles for various business and IT-related publications
  • Wrote a book related to database implementations

  • Written more than 15 white papers related to IT and business effectiveness issues (more than 500,000 copies distributed worldwide)
  • Received numerous awards for my writing (including the Award of Achievement and Award of Merit) from the Society for Technical Communications

Finally, I am a past president of the Institute for Certification of Computing Professionals (ICCP), and a professional member of the National Speakers Association

Thumb Bob's talks are always thought-provoking. He has a way of getting into your head and making you think about things in a new light. I don't always agree with Bob's opinions, but I value the fact that he makes me think.

Thumb Bob has a unique style and way of reaching people which means that months, and even years, after hearing him speak I still return to things I heard, notes I made and lessons I learnt about myself.
Assorted conferences and at events at our company
Joanna Brown
Thumb Bob has an amazing way of reaching each person in his audience exactly where they are at the moment. He presents profound material in simple, easy to swallow ways. Amazing talent.
