About Hubert Rampersad

Hubert Rampersad, Ph.D. is a reimaginer of Sustainability, Design Engineering, Innovation and Management, a disruptive innovation futurist, and a global crusader for real Sustainability. He is a maverick game changer who developed the innovative concepts Eco-Design Thinking, Eco-Innovation, Personal Disruptive Innovation, Total Performance Scorecard, Personal Balanced Scorecard, Authentic Personal Branding, Authentic Governance, and TPS-Lean Six Sigma. This highly respected Harvard Business School endorsed author holds a PhD in Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences (cum laude), MSc in Engineering & Robotics, and BSc in Mechanical Engineering from leading accredited universities in the Netherlands. He authored 25 books in many languages, was a guest lecturer at MIT Sloan and has been featured in Business Week two times. He is president/founder of Technological University of the Americas in Suriname and of Center of Excellence in Eco-Design Thinking & Eco-Innovation in Miami, USA. His new book “Eco-Design Thinking for Personal, Corporate and Social Innovation” is a game changing exposure to innovation and how to become a disruptor like Elon Musk. 

Prof. Rampersad’s main focus is designing a better world. Please read his article “HOW TO DESIGN A BETTER WORLD“. “It’s not climate change that needs to be tackled. It is the personal integrity of people, which is awareness about their behavior and actions on human beings, animals, plants, and the environment. This is the first rule of sustainability and the foundation of empathy and eco-design thinking”. — Hubert Rampersad. Read his articles “Design For Sustainability” and “Why Sustainability Sucks”.   He originated many sustainable and innovative management and design engineering concepts in the past 20 years based on his sustainability Philosophy.

The main reason why he launched his eco-innovation concept: “Today’s complex world requires sustainable innovation. Traditional innovation approaches are not sustainable because they are not holistic. They are cosmetical, theatrical and cozy, instead of sustainable. They don’t fit in my definition of real sustainability: Sustainability is a holistic and ethical system in which humans and nature can exist in harmony for a very long period of time”-— Hubert Rampersad. Read “Why Innovation Sucks“.

His new book “Eco-Design Thinking for Personal, Corporate and Social Innovation; How to Become a Disruptive Eco-Design Thinker Like Elon Musk“, is focused on sustainability in design and innovation. Read the excerpt of this book, which is about reimagining design and innovation.

He is not happy with traditional design approaches taught at Stanford, MIT and Harvard, which are not suitable for designing a better world. Read “Why Design Thinking Sucks”. He is also not happy with some management programs taught at leading universities and business schools, that are causing massive damage in society. Read his article “How Universities Kill Creativity, Sustainability and Innovation”.

He has authored 25 books in many languages, published by leading international publishers like John Wiley, McGraw-Hill, Springer Verlag, Elsevier Science, etc., check https://tpsint.wixsite.com/tpsi/clients . Most of these books have been endorsed by leading professors from Harvard Business School, Yale School of Management, London Business School, IMD, and INSEAD.

Leonard. His first book “Integrated and Simultaneous Design for Robotic Assembly” was published in 1995 by the world most leading publisher John Wiley, based on this PhD research.
