LANCE DUBLIN — a recognized leader in applying strategic thinking and design to the worlds of training and learning, change management and communications, innovation, and organizational development.
LISA JOHNSON — an award-winning expert on women and the Connected Generation who uses stories, industry case studies, and humor to help brands deeply understand the buying power and behavior of this renegade group of consumers.
