I’ll be interviewing my old friend and HBS classmate Frans Johansson at a special event on the evening of October 29.
The event, a joint production of the Brown and HBS alumni clubs, will give 40 lucky people the chance to hear Frans speak and get signed copies of his bestsellers, The Medici Effect and The Click Moment. (If you don’t already own copies of the books, shame on you, but copies will be available for purchase at the event)
And did I mention that the event is free (though the books are not)?
Date: Monday, October 29th
Time: 6:30pm – 8:30pm
Place: Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Building
401 Quarry Rd., Rm 2209, Stanford, CA 94305
Cost: Free for Everyone
To RSVP for the event, email Mai Manchanda of the Brown alumni club and claim your spot. HBS alumni should be sure to include your class year for our attendance records.
Here’s a bit more about the event:
The Click Moment
is the highly anticipated second book from Frans Johansson, the most
perceptive innovation thought leader of his generation. Johansson’s
debut, The Medici Effect,
was an international bestseller that shattered assumptions about how
great ideas happen. It made BusinessWeek and Amazon’s year-end “best-of”
lists, and was lauded by innovation legend Clayton Christensen as “one
of the most insightful books about managing innovation I have ever
read.”
The Click Moment exceeds The Medici Effect’s promise many times over.
Randomness may rule, but tomorrow’s smartest innovators, entrepreneurs,
and leaders know how to harness it to their advantage. Part
intellectual thrill ride and part success blueprint that no one whose
livelihood depends on big, disruptive ideas can afford to miss. The
Click Moment obliterates the idea that in business you can plan,
strategize, and analyze your way to success.
