Problem Solving and Opportunity Finding with Coinstar Founder Jens Molbak

Through growing Coinstar from idea to public company, Jens Molbak learned how to build an impactful company that scales and sustains for the long term.

During this time, Jens developed the concept of Tri-Sector Innovation (TSI), a strategic framework that integrates compelling resources and capabilities of the private, public, and social sectors. TSI is a deeply pragmatic approach to problem-solving and opportunity finding that can be applied by innovators and entrepreneurs in all fields.

Drawing on his experience leading Coinstar and pioneering cross-sector initiatives, Jens will discuss real-world case studies and explore strategies to help you deliver compelling, impactful work that thrives over the long term.

Note: NewImpact’s free impact and innovation tools are available on its website, including a new AI brainstorming coach at www.newimpact.care.
