Charan has consulted for companies such as GE, KLM, Bank of America, Praxair and Jaypee Associates. He is the author of various books on business, including Talent Masters, Leaders At All Levels', Leadership in the Era of Economic Uncertainty: The New Rules for Getting the Right Things Done in Difficult Times, Boards That Deliver, What The CEO Wants You To Know, Boards At Work, Every Business Is A Growth Business (with Noel Tichy), Profitable Growth Is Everyone's Business, Confronting Reality, Know How and Execution (with Larry Bossidy and Charles Burck), which was a best-seller.
Charan runs his business management consulting company under the name Charan Associates located in Dallas, TX. Records show the company was established in 1981 and incorporated in Texas. Current estimates show this company has an annual revenue of $500,000 to $1 million and employs a staff of approximately 1 to 4. Charan sits on the board for Austin Industries, SSA & Company (formerly Six Sigma Academy), and TE Connectivity.
Charan partnered with Kevin R. Cope and Stephen M.R. Covey to form Acumen Learning. Acumen Learning and Ram Charan have an agreement to use the concepts in his book: "What the CEO Wants You to Know". Ram has helped to define and popularize the idea of business acumen being an essential leadership characteristic in management.
In November 2012, Dr. Ram Charan, along with Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev guided "Insight; the DNA of Success" a leadership program bringing together, for the first time, the tools of professional and personal empowerment. Fortune magazine calls him 'the most influential consultant alive'. The 4-day program held at the Isha Yoga Center, saw 200 business leaders converge in an exploration that bridged spirituality and business.
Charan was elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Human Resources in 2000 and named a Distinguished Fellow in 2005. Charan was in India in the month of February 2010 to give a presentation to around 400 Indian CEOs.
Dr. Ram Charan easily enables the organizations to resolve the most complex of their problems. His workshops or sessions for functional or business leaders are highly useful, and it is possible to use the concepts and frameworks he would develop for the participants based on challenges being faced by them. The best part is that he develops the capability within the leaders to handle problems in future themselves. So, unlike other many individual consultants or consulting firms, he would not create a dependency on himself. Very simple, down to earth individual he is. Sharp on time to arrive and to begin the session, and to close the session on the dot, leaving the participants fully soaked in new levels of wisdom. This is based on a year-long experience of working with him sessions spread over the year.
