Tim Clark

—Teacher-Trainer—

Welcome!

My name’s Tim Clark. I lead the personal business model movement at BusinessModelYou.com, and teach business model thinking and related topics in both academic and private settings. I’ve served as the author or editor of five books about business model thinking, entrepreneurship, and personal development, including the forthcoming Business Model You! (Wiley) and the international bestseller Business Model Generation.

I love teaching and training, where I draw on my entrepreneurship background (flops and multimillion dollar acquisitions alike), Fortune 500 consulting experience, and international business model portability research. Here's what learners say about my work:

“I’m not sure how but you/your class enlightened me and gave me newfound hope that if I work hard enough I can do anything in life.” Aragon Liebzeit, B.A. Class of 2005

“Tim’s constant energy and his zest for “making it happen” for our clients made him a role model, a mentor, and coach for many of us in the company.” Frank Yu, Principal Strategy Consultant, chinadotcom corporation, Hong Kong

“Great course. Best I've had in the MBA program. Should be a general requirement.” Portland State University MBA 2011 official course evaluation (anonymous)

“You’re the most professional teacher I’ve had at Portland State University.” Jacob Szeto, MBA Class of 2010

“The reason why I decided to study abroad is you.” Hajime Kuwayama, Waseda University exchange student, Class of 2010, reader of Saying Yes to Japan

“You are one badass prof. Your honest, direct feedback is the best I’ve ever received.” Nat Parker, MIM Class of 2010

“… the most exciting course so far during my MBA. This class is the reason I decided to pursue my studies.” Marcia Kapustin, MBA Class of 2009

As a holder of both masters and doctoral degrees in business, I'm professionally and academically qualified to teach at the university level. This fall I will serve as a visiting professor at the University of Tsukuba in Japan.

In my spare time I play music and (occasionally) work on Soul Shelter, a blog co-authored by novelist M. Allen Cunningham. I make my home in Portland, Oregon and in the Tokyo area together with wife, kids, and Corgi rascal Mr. Barky.
