FUELING INNOVATIVE CROSS-SECTOR COLLABORATION
The Lear Corporation and TechTown Detroit are proud to present an evening with Susannah Fox. This former Chief Technology Officer of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Entrepreneur in Residence at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation advises companies and nonprofits on how to stay close to their customers and become learning organizations. Sourcing her own experiences, Susannah promotes innovative thinking in organizations by asking and answering:
<UL>
<LI>How do we keep our intake valves open to new ideas and fresh thinking?</LI>
<LI>What can we learn by bending conventional rules until they break or by studying the artists and hackers who invariably signal the future?</LI>
<LI>Where can we find unexpected partners?</LI>
</UL>
After the keynote, we will work together to find solutions and process what you’ve just learned by participating in an interactive workshop designed by Joyce Lee, MD, MPH, and led by industry experts and innovators. Joyce is a physician, designer, researcher, and the Robert P. Kelch, MD, Research Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Michigan. She is a frequent speaker on the intersection of design, the Maker Movement, and healthcare; and social media for patients and healthcare professionals. Dr. Lee also conducts workshops, providing hands-on training for health professionals on design thinking and social media. 
This is your opportunity to discuss what you’ve learned and practice tailoring an approach to innovative thinking unique to your own culture.
Networking & Refreshments | 5 to 6pm Program | 6 to 8pm Free parking in the TechTown lot on Amsterdam between Woodward and Cass Avenues.
