The keynote speakers for the 2019 event include Ann Mei Chang, a leading expert on social innovation and the author of Lean Impact: How to Innovate for Radically Greater Social Good. In her #FRO 2019 keynote, Ann Mei will show how far greater impact at far greater scale is possible if we adapt the best practices of innovation: setting audacious goals, taking measured risk, running lightweight experiments, driving fast feedback loops, and focusing on the metrics that matter.
