Werner Erhard

For the past 35 years Werner Erhard has been the creator of innovative ideas
and models of individual, organizational, and social transformation. While he
may be best known for the est training and applications he and others derived
from those models, the models have been the source of new perspectives by
thinkers and practitioners in fields as diverse as philosophy, business,
education, psychotherapy, third world development, medicine, conflict
resolution and community building.

Mr. Erhard has served as consultant to various corporations, foundations and
governmental agencies. He has lectured widely at seminars, meetings,
conventions and educational institutions. Erhard has lectured for a wide variety
of prestigious institutions and professional associations around the world,
including the Gruter Institute, Harvard Business School, Stanford University,
University of Rochester Simon School of Business,Yale Law School, Yale School
of Organization and Management, MIT Sloan School of Management Leadership
Center, Harvard Law School, USC Marshall School of Business, UNESCO, and
The Center for Public Leadership, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.

Millions of people around the world have participated in the public and
corporate programs created by Mr. Erhard. A majority of the Fortune 100
companies and many governmental entities have used his ideas and
incorporated his models. Fortune magazine's 40th Anniversary issue (May 15,
1995), in examining the major contributions to management thinking,
recognized Mr. Erhard's ideas as the major innovation of the last few decades
in shaping modern management thinking about empowering people.

For his humanitarian work around the world, in 1988 the Mahatma Gandhi
International Foundation awarded him the Mahatma Gandhi Humanitarian
Award, citing "...your notable effort to end the starvation and hunger suffered
by millions throughout the world, and for drawing broad public awareness to the
value of integrity in our everyday lives."
