With nearly three decades of management consulting and corporate research expertise, Bill Capodagli (pronounced Cap-o-die) co-authored one of Fortune magazine's "Best Business Books." Bill is currently the most requested speaker on Walt Disney's success and leadership principles in the United States. The Disney Way: Harnessing the Management Secrets of Disney in Your Company is currently published in eight languages. In 2000, McGraw-Hill released Bill's practical Disney Way Fieldbook: How to Implement Walt Disney's Vision of "Dream, Believe, Dare, Do" in Your Company as a companion to the original book.

Bill's latest book, Leading at the Speed of Change: Using New Economy Rules to Invigorate Old Economy Companies, is gaining recognition as one of the best leadership manifestos in recent years. This landmark book is the behind-the-scenes story of how Rick Roscitt, currently COO of MCI, launched a $5 billion dollar network outsourcing division of AT&T, known as Solutions, within five years. Leading at the Speed of Change provides a template for organizations striving to rethink, redesign and reengineer their operations in the fact of the current economy. The book also brings The Disney Way model to life in a culture far removed from the entertainment industry.

For over ten years, Capodagli Jackson Consulting has assisted organizations to incorporate The Disney Way model into their strategic initiatives. Prior to founding his company, Bill held managerial positions at the consulting firms of AT Kearney, Ernst & Whinney (now Ernst and Young) and Coopers & Lybrand. Bill is increasingly sought after as an international keynote speaker. He enlightens his audiences with how The Disney Way's model is transforming management paradigms in virtually every industry.
