About this title

About the Author:

Alain Paul Martin coaches executives and intelligence analysts and teaches strategy, risk management, negotiation and leadership. After witnessing too many executives retire in poor health or die in the job, Alain Paul Martin undertook several research assignments which have led to the book Bringing Time to Life. Alain's experience includes the turnaround of a national financial institution and the management of projects ranging from airport security, and e-business strategy for a multi-billion dollar client, to the evaluation of TV coverage of major news events. He has advised the Director General of UNESCO on restructuring and renewal, and has served as executive member of the non-partisan Committee of The Prime Minister of Canada on Government Reform. His presentation titled "Building a Great Nation and Governing in a World of Surprise Events" was attended by the Prime Minister of Canada, Cabinet ministers and legislators, among others.

Mr. Martin’s clients include Boeing, Boliden, Bombardier, EDC, GE, Cap-Gemini, GM, Hilton, MetLife, Procter & Gamble, Skanska Cement of Sweden, The Association for Science and Technology in China (CAST), the Swedish Employers Council, The Engineering Advancement Association of Japan, telecom companies, governments and NGOs.

An alumnus of Harvard Business School and a recipient of patents and innovation awards, Mr. Martin is the architect of HUMINT™ Contact, a human-intelligence software to map relationships between various players. He has invented the Harvard™ Business Planner and developed Harvard University Global System™ – a practical framework comprising management tools and road maps on human intelligence, issue analysis, strategy, risk and project management. He has also been recognized by the Project Management Institute (PMI) for "his outstanding contribution to the state-of-the-art of project management".
