Tamara Christensen: Innovation Emcee for The Forum 2017
Design Thinking sessions  encourage problem-solving, innovation and creativity

NAWB is thrilled to announce that Tamara Christensen, founder of Idea Farm, will serve as our Innovation Emcee during The Forum 2017. Tamara is a passionate and empathetic leader with 20 years of experience blending design thinking and collaboration to help organizations build innovation capabilities and apply them to complex business challenges. Her dynamic energy and talents are uniquely suited to this year's theme,  Defining Challenges, Shaping Opportunities. 
 
During our general session luncheons on Sunday and Monday, Tamara will apply her expertise to create two Brain Breaks - design thinking sessions - to guide us in visualizing our challenges in new ways (day one) and  identifying alternative means of understanding our goals (day two) that will create new opportunities for our customers and our organizations.  

We promise that we've never done anything like this at The Forum before and hope that you too look forward to this chance to approach your work and The Forum 2017 in a unique way!  Stay tuned for more details on this interactive development opportunity that will enrich your experience as an attendee and inform your approach to solving challenges in new ways.
