Since 2013, Thinkers50 has been celebrating the work of people who have made a lasting difference to the way we think of and practice management. The Thinkers50 Hall of Fame, presented in partnership with the Haier Group, honours the legacy of an elite group of thinkers.  

 

At the Thinkers50 Gala in November we were joined by three of the new inductees into the Hall of Fame.
