Don Tapscott is one of the world’s leading authorities on business strategy, with emphasis on how information technology changes business, government and society. He is the author or co-author of 13 widely read books, including Wikinomics, which was the best selling management book in the United States in 2007 and is now translated into 23 languages. His latest book, Grown Up Digital, was the focal point of this year's Flat Classroom Project, entitled the Net Gen Education Project. Grown Up Digital draws upon a 4 million dollar research study of more than 11,000 young people to deliver a dynamic look at how the current Internet generation is changing the world – and all of its institutions, including education. He is Chairman of nGenera Insight, a global business innovation company, headquartered in Austin, Texas with offices in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. Don directs several of nGenera Insight’s research and education programs, which serve a marquee list of Global 2000 customers.
