Predrag Pale graduated and received masters degree form the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing at University of Zagreb.
He was involved in basic computer technologies, designing, building and deploying hardware and software, operating systems and computer networks. However, major part of more than 25 years of his professional activity was devoted to the application of information and communication technologies. Deliberately and targeting he was accumulating broad experience in applying ICT areas from civil engineering to medicine, from libraries, government, business and finance to media and education. Working in the industry he gained fundamental experience in design, production and application.
He has envisioned, initiated and led Croatian Internet project, System of Scientific Information of Croatia, National Library System and other large scale projects.
From 1993 to 2000 he was a Deputy Minister of Science and Technology in charge of ICT. He founded, developed and led a department of the ministry, a government agency, several NGOs and companies both in Croatia and internationally.
Through all those activities he was continuously learning not only technological but also organizational knowledge and skills.

He started teaching at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing at University of Zagreb in early 90ties. Since 1997 he is actively experimenting with and researching the use of ICT in education. Observing himself and others, learning more from his own mistakes than successes, listening to knowledge, experience and wisdom of international experts in change management he created his own “recipe” for successful management. Recognized and contemporary theories he mixes with his own experience and views helping his audience to find their own way, method and solution.
There are three things in the world that make him “tick”: an idea that gets realized, figuring something out and the “Aha!” effect in the eyes of his audience.
He was awarded the National medal «Danica Hrvatska» with effigy of “Ruđer Bošković” and with the “State Award for Science”.
