Indigo Client Spotlight: Phil Simon

Phil Simon is an author, frequent keynote speaker, recognized collaboration and technology authority, and college professor.

Here's a sampler of some of Phil's titles that we've worked on:

--Project Management in the Hybrid Workplace
" [...] In his inimitable style, Simon adeptly fuses critical research and concepts from a slew of diverse and seemingly unrelated fields, including Agile software development, human resources, supply chain management, organizational behavior, cognitive psychology, and labor economics. Brimming with detailed case studies, penetrating insights, and practical advice, Simon's twelfth book is a tour de force. Product owners, new and seasoned PMs, service providers, freelancers, small business owners, and students taking PM classes will benefit from Project Management in the Hybrid Workplace."

--The Nine: The Tectonic Forces Reshaping the Workplace
"[...] In The Nine: The Tectonic Forces Reshaping the Workplace, award-winning author and world-renowned workplace tech expert Phil Simon answers that question in spades. He peers into the dizzying and chaotic future of work. Simon slices through the hype surrounding nascent trends and newfangled technologies...."

--Low-Code/No-Code: Citizen Developers and the Surprising Future of Business Applications
"[Phil Simon's] thirteenth book deftly illustrates how, thanks to powerful new tools and a new breed of employees, organizations are finally fulfilling critical business needs and reducing their reliance on pricey software developers. Low-Code/No-Code is an invaluable treasure trove of insightful analysis, synthesis, examples, and advice that has arrived at the perfect time."
