Lisa Duke

Dr Lisa Simone Duke is an Affiliate Lecturer at London Business School, teaching across both MBA and Executive Education programmes. She is also an Affiliate Professor at Hanken & SSE, and IE Business School Executive Education, and sits in the Programme Director pool at Saïd Business School Oxford.

Her work sits at the intersection of organisational behaviour and strategy, with a particular focus on the human conditions that determine whether performance, change, and transformation hold. She has developed The Human Infrastructure of High Performance - a framework operating simultaneously at structural, team, and individual level that addresses why organisations consistently underinvest in building the conditions in which people deliver their full capacity, and what leaders can do about it.

Lisa is a six-time award-winning case writer and award-winning programme designer, with circa 200 co-authored teaching cases spanning strategy, leadership, sustainability, and organisational behaviour. Her collaborators include faculty from LBS, INSEAD, and IMD. Notable cases include Forever Chocolate, winner of the EFMD Best Case in CSR, and Does Sustainability Pay?, both a bestselling case and winner of Best Case in Economics, Politics and Business Environment at the Case Centre.

She holds a doctorate from SDA Bocconi, an MBA from London Business School, an MSc with Honours in Organisational Psychology from Birkbeck College, University of London, and a Professional Certificate in Coaching from Henley Business School. She is a member of the Harvard Business Review Advisory Council and has coached hundreds of executives across sectors and industries.
