He was a professor at the Harvard Business School for 10 years and a visiting professor, organizational behavior-human resource management at INSEAD and London Business School. 

He built highly popular courses at CBS called "Organizational Change" and "Advanced Organizational Change" as well as “Bridging the American Divides,” co-taught with Professor Bruce Usher.

His podcast on the Future of the Workforce (Brave New Work)  has reached wide audiences as part of his focus on leading edge management practices called “Management 2.0.” 

Professor Jick has been actively involved in executive education, conference facilitation, executive coaching, and consulting in areas such as leadership, change management, and transformation, values-based management, and human resources management. He was a senior consultant to GE's famed corporate transformation initiative, "Workout."
