James A. Champy

James A. Champy
Chairman of Consulting, Perot Systems

James A. Champy is a leading authority on the management issues surrounding business reengineering, organizational change and corporate renewal. He consults extensively with senior-level executives of multinational companies seeking to improve business performance. His approach centers on helping leaders achieve business results through four distinct, yet overlapping areas: business strategy, management and operations, organizational development and change, and information technology. Prior to joining Perot Systems, Champy was chairman and CEO of CSC Index, the management consulting arm of Computer Science Corporation. He was one of the original founders of Index, a $200-million consulting practice that was acquired by CSC in 1988.

In addition to his consulting work, Mr. Champy is a world-renowned author. His first book, Reengineering the Corporation: A Manifesto for Business Revolution, sold more than 2,500,000 copies and spent more than a year on The New York Times bestseller list. He has authored or co-authored several more (including the recent X-Engineering the Corporation: Reinventing Your Business in the Digital Age), and his articles appear in major newspapers and magazines throughout the world. As such, he is in demand as a speaker around the world.

Champy earned his B.S. and his M.S. in civil engineering from MIT, his J.D. from Boston College Law School. Champy is a member of the MIT Corporation, MIT’s Board of Trustees, and serves on the Board of Overseers of the Boston College Law School. He is also a member of the Perot Systems Board of Directors and the Board of Analog Devices, Inc.
