Innovation and implementation expert Chris Trimble will be the keynote speaker for the 2013 HASC Annual Meeting, May 8-10, at St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point.

As a researcher and speaker on how to execute innovation initiatives for clients such as United Health Group, IBM, ASAE and the Center for Association Leadership, Trimble’s work exemplifies this year’s Annual Meeting theme—Making Innovation Happen. He is the author of best-seller The Other Side of Innovation: Solving the Execution Challenge. His book Ten Rules for Strategic Innovators – from Idea to Execution was named to the Wall Street Journal’s Top Ten Recommended Reading list. And co-authored with Vijay Govindarajan, his much-anticipated How Stella Saved the Farm: A Wild and Wooly Tale About Making Innovation Happen will be released in March 2013. Trimble is on the faculty at the Dartmouth Center for Health Care Delivery Science.
