John McKean is the Executive Director of the Center for Information Based Competition, which provides thought-leadership to help businesses advance to a mastery level of customer information and interactions - both as consumers and people. He is frequently called on by the world’s leading businesses to inspire new levels of customer awareness and effectiveness through fact-based insights and a passion for customer excellence. John McKean’s real world customer work is balanced with the academic rigors of guest lecturing at MIT Sloan Graduate School and postgraduate work at Harvard University.

Published Books
“Customers are People - the Human Touch” is being heralded as a “powerful” and “compelling” work ushering in the new era of customer interaction. McKean reveals how the world’s leading “Human Touch” firms implement the intuitive art of their most successful sales, marketing, and service individuals as a consistent science across business functions...... a science based on our research findings that “70% of the customer’s decision to buy is based on how they are treated as people...”

“Information Masters -Secrets of the Customer Race” is "utterly riveting and very surprising” (Amazon.com.uk), revealing why only 5% of the world’s firms are achieving the full potential of their Customer Relationship Management initiatives.  Information Masters was also awarded the exclusive honor of Wiley Publishing’s “BEST ON THE MARKET” book list along with Wiley’s other high profile list of authors including Peter Drucker, Jack Welch, and Warren Buffett.
