Bestselling Business Author Morten Hansen to Open 2012 Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society: The Regulatory Convergence in Seattle
Hansen is the co-author of Great by Choice and author of Collaboration. His award-winning research has been published in leading academic journals, and he is the winner of the Administrative Science Quarterly award for having made exceptional contributions to the field of organizational studies. He also has published several highly regarded articles in the Harvard Business Review on collaboration, leadership and innovation. He is a management professor at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Information, and at INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France.
“Regulatory leaders play an important role in helping their organizations navigate a world full of change,” said Hansen. “In our book, Great by Choice, we studied how leaders created truly great organizations in a chaotic world. The key differentiating principles will be very helpful for regulatory leaders who want to elevate their efforts and take on leadership roles in driving change.”
Hansen will draw on his extensive experience to address how regulatory leaders can blend creativity with discipline to elevate not only their own performance, but also the vital role regulatory plays in building a truly great enterprise in the type of uncertain environments healthcare organizations face today. Hansen also recently spoke with RAPS’ Regulatory Focus about achieving greatness by managing chaos and risk.
