MIT Center for Collective Intelligence

Peter A. Gloor has a unique combination of academic and industry experience. In the academic sphere, he is a Research Affiliate at the Center for Collective Intelligence at MIT's Sloan School of Management where he leads a project exploring Collaborative Innovation Networks. He is also lecturing at University of Cologne where he was Mercator Visiting Professor  in winter 2006, and at Helsinki University of Technology. One of the results of his work is TeCFlow, a dynamic social network analysis tool. Earlier, Peter was an adjunct faculty in the Department of Computer Science at Dartmouth and a Post-Doctoral Fellow at MIT. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Zurich in 1989. Peter has written 5 books and over thirty scholarly papers. His latest book "Swarm Creativity - Competitive Advantage through Collaborative Innovation Networks" appeared January 2006 from Oxford University Press. Peter is equally at home in the commercial world.  Until the end of 2002, Peter was a Partner with Deloitte Consulting, leading its E-Business practice for Europe. Before that, he was a Partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Section Leader for Software Engineering at Union Bank of Switzerland. He has also been CEO of Internet start-up CyberMap Systems. Peter has led large Internet Strategy, Knowledge Management, and IT Systems integration projects for clients such as UBS, Zurich, Generali, Banca del Gottardo, Novartis, Roche, Norsk Hydro, TUI, DaimlerChrysler, Caterpillar, TRW, Lafarge, Holcim, United Nations and the Swiss Government.
