Professor Christensen is currently the Robert and Jane Cizik Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, with a joint appointment in the Technology & Operations Management and General Management faculty groups. His research and teaching interests center on the management issues related to the development and commercialization of technological and business model innovation. Specific areas of focus include developing organizational capabilities and finding new markets for new technologies.

Professor Christensen is the bestselling author of five books, including his seminal work The Innovator's Dilemma (1997) which received the Global Business Book Award for the best business book of the year, The Innovator's Solution (2003), and Seeing What's Next (2004). Recently, Christensen has focused the lens of disruptive innovation on social issues such as education and health care. Disrupting Class (2008) looks at the root causes of why schools struggle and offers solutions, while The Innovator's Prescription (late 2008) examines how to fix our healthcare system.

Professor Christensen was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. He worked as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Republic of Korea from 1971 to 1973 and speaks fluent Korean. He continues to serve in his church as an Area Authority Seventy, and is extensively involved in other activities in the community. He and his wife, Christine, live in Belmont, MA. They are the parents of five children.

Stephen R. Covey

Tomorrow Dr. Stephen R. Covey will be holding a fireside at the McLean Stake Center. His topic will be "Communication and the Family."

Dr. Covey has been recognized as one of Time Magazine's 25 most influential Americans and one of Sales and Marketing Management's top 25 power brokers. He is the author of several acclaimed books, including the bestseller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
