Through his decades of experience and leading 30+ Corporate Transformations, Bob has pioneered the Accelerated Corporate Transformation (ACT) methodology. ACT has been successfully implemented at over 30+ of the most iconic Corporate Transformations, including Apple, General Electric, IBM Global Services, Symantec, National Semiconductor, Office Depot, PGA Tour, Infineon Technologies, Rockwell International, Southern Company, and Black & Veatch, as well as a number of emerging high-tech companies.

Bob is also a distinguished academic and author. On the Yale and Harvard Business School faculties for many years, Miles taught in the MBA, Doctoral, and senior executive programs. At Harvard, he was Faculty Chairman of an innovative residential program, which helped CEOs and their teams plan corporate transformations. He is a Cofounder of the Macro Organizational Behavior Society (Miles, Macro Organizational Behavior, 1980), a convocation of elected global scholars held each year at HBS. Later, he was Hopkins Distinguished University Professor and Dean of the Faculty at the Goizueta Business School at Emory University.

Miles is the author of a series of books on Corporate Transformation and Organizational Effectiveness, including Corporate Comeback, Leading Corporate Transformation: Blueprint for Business Renewal and most recently, BIG Ideas to BIG Results: Leading Corporate Transformation in a Disruptive World, Second Edition with Michael Kanazawa (Pearson, 2016).

Bob's latest book, the Transformation Leader's Guide, will be released on June 7th, 2022 by Routledge Publishing. The Transformation Leader's Guide is intended to become the definitive guide for executive leaders in this domain. It represents the distillation of over thirty rapid, CEO-led corporate transformations for which I served as principal process architect and supervisor.

He also has an accompanying online course released through Flevy Executive Learning (FEL) called the Transformation Leader's Guide (Online Course). To access it, please visit the FEL section (link at bottom of the page).
