She holds a PhD in Organization Studies and International Comparative Education from Stanford University. Prior to joining HEC Paris in Qatar, she was a Visiting Senior Lecturer at New York University Abu Dhabi. Her research centers around the emergence, institutionalization, and adaptation of global narratives, models, and best practices by organizations and the ways such processes influence individuals and society. She explores how nation-states and organizations negotiate the changing demands of a globalized world and adapt models for sustainable development to foster (social) entrepreneurship and innovation in their local contexts. Her most recent projects include studies on how semi-government organizations foster local entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems and how accelerators and incubators adapt global and local narratives and models to cultivate an entrepreneurial culture among youth in the Arab Gulf. Prior to academia, Dr. Lee worked in the Middle East and the US, leading organizational strategy, program design, and impact evaluation for newly established education nonprofits and providing policy research and advisory services.</p>

In the midst of an increasingly complex and uncertain world, individuals are taking greater initiative in shaping their own futures. Whether seeking to advance your career, explore global opportunities, or transition into a new industry, developing and expanding your skills, experience, and network has become essential.<br />
</p>
<p>This masterclass will help you learn ways to influence and shape the decisions of others. Drawing on insights from behavioral sciences—and using experiments, real-life examples, and interactive discussions—we will introduce the science of manipulation.</p>
<p> The discussion will focus on the following:<br />
1. As a regional manager of a car manufacturer, you are tasked with gaining more market share from a major competitor.<br />
2. As an executive, you are applying for a promotion, but a strong competitor is also vying for the same position.<br />
3. As a government, you are trying to persuade the public to adopt healthier behaviors.<br />

Mastering Influence: An Introduction to the subtleties of Persuasion
![Yahoo!

It is becoming increasingly recognized that innovations that succeed follow a systemic, human-centered process of need identification, hypothesis generation, testing, learning, and iteration. This masterclass will introduce key design thinking principles that are not only a toolbox for stimulating creativity but also a methodology for solving problems. This process involves applying the concepts of design thinking and hypothesis-driven innovation to real-world needs and challenges, with a focus on understanding the need deeply by engaging in meaningful, empathetic interactions with users, creating and testing prototypes, and building and iterating key aspects of your business case. Participants will walk away with a toolkit of frameworks and exercises for generating ideas, refining the direction of an idea, testing, and evaluating the viability of the idea.<br />

Her most recent projects include studies on how semi-government organizations foster local entrepreneurship and innovation and the ways that accelerators appropriate and adapt global entrepreneurial narratives to cultivate an entrepreneurial culture among youth in the Arab Gulf.

It is becoming increasingly recognized that innovations that succeed follow a systemic, human-centered process of need identification, hypothesis generation, testing, learning, and iteration. This masterclass will introduce key design thinking principles that are not only a toolbox for stimulating creativity but also a methodology for solving problems. This process involves applying the concepts of design thinking and hypothesis-driven innovation to real-world needs and challenges, with a focus on understanding the need deeply by engaging in meaningful, empathetic interactions with users, creating and testing prototypes, and building and iterating key aspects of your business case. Participants will walk away with a toolkit of frameworks and exercises for generating ideas, refining the direction of an idea, testing, and evaluating the viability of the idea.<br />
