He has co-authored and edited a number of books, including Australia’s best selling text “Management in Australia” and recently held visiting appointments at Cambridge University and the Indian School of Business in Hyderabad.

Professor Collins’ consulting practice is in four areas: working with CEOs and executive teams on the formulation and implementation of strategy, enhancing the performance of executive teams, assisting managers to develop plans and skills for the strategic management of their workforce, and developing the contribution of the human resource function.
