Question

Lois Quam

Founder, Tysvar, LLC

After accompanying Will Steger on a trip to Norway and the Arctic Circle, Lois Quam's interest in global climate change was sparked. There she witnessed firsthand the astonishing changes in the polar ice masses and the resulting impact on wildlife. Inspired by Steger's call for action to reduce global climate change, in 2009 Lois Quam left Piper Jaffray, a leading international investment bank, to become the founder and CEO of Tysvar, LLC, a privately held, Minnesota-based New Green Economy and health care reform incubator. In 2010, Quam was selected by President Barack Obama to head the Global Health Initiative. This case is a retrospective of her executive experience at Tysvar.

“I'm focused on ways to finding solutions to really significant problems and taking those ideas to full potential,” Quam said. “I want to bring the green economy to reality in a way that is much broader than financing. I want to focus on areas where I can make the most difference bringing the green economy to scale.”

Tysvar works with investors who can create the change they wish to see in the world rather than simply reacting to events as they unfold. The company is a strategic advisor and incubator of ideas, organizations, and people working to facilitate and build the New Green Economy (NGE) to scale. Tysvar's goal is to contribute to a viable, profitable, and socially responsible industry of sustainability, clean technology, and renewable energy sources.

Conscientiously working to play their part to create a more sustainable world for the next generation, Tysvar's efforts include new creation of NGE industries, jobs, and investment opportunities, contributing to building NGE public policy frameworks, trade for import/export of clean technologies, and renewable energy sources around the world.

“We stand on the brink of a very exciting time in the world,” according to Quam. The interest in developing renewable energy sources to replace dwindling fossil fuel supplies and reduce carbon dioxide emissions is worldwide. “It is a very difficult time in the financial markets right now to do this, but that will change. Good companies will find ways to get things done.”

“I am an optimist about our future,” said Quam, “Which is why I started Tysvar. The challenges we face from climate change are immense, but so are our capabilities, and the rewards and benefits to humanity are even greater in the New Green Economy.”

Lois Quam named her company after the hometown of her grandfather, Nels Quam. Tysvar is a majestically beautiful area in western Norway which is becoming a clean technology hub as part of Norway's growing NGE leadership and will soon be the site of the world's largest off-shore wind farm.

Lois Quam has continually worked for a better tomorrow. In 2005, Quam was named Norwegian American of the Year. She believes there is much to learn from Norway: From balancing work and life, allowing parents to fully participate in the economy while still being active parents, to how successfully Norway is immersing itself in new energy technologies such as wind and biomass. As an arctic oil producing nation with a carbon tax since 1993, Norway has reinvested its oil wealth to become a world leader in renewable energy.

Internationally recognized as a visionary and leader on universal health-care reform and the emerging NGE, Lois Quam embodies the skill sets needed to succeed in this new economy. Named in 2006 by Fortune magazine as one of America's “50 Most Powerful Women,” Quam has worked as head of Strategic Investments, Green Economy & Health at Piper Jaffray, a leading international investment bank; served as president and CEO of the Public and Senior Markets segment at UnitedHealth Group, a $30 billion division she helped create and run; chaired the Minnesota Health Care Access Commission, which led to legislation that brought health insurance to tens of thousands of Minnesotans; and served as a senior advisor to Hillary Clinton's task force on health-care reform. She graduated magna laude from Macalester College in St. Paul and went on to attend the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, earning a master's degree in philosophy, politics, and economics.

Lois Quam believes the New Green Economy will produce high quality jobs, improve our national security via less dependence on foreign fuels, and prevent the most damaging consequence of all: irreversible and diminishing climate change. She and Tysvar are committed to establishing universal health-care reform in America. They believe universal health care is the answer for dependable, affordable health care for all Americans and that it is necessary to help rebuild the American economy and restore American competitiveness worldwide.

Recognizing this, President Obama recently appointed Quam executive director of the State Department's Global Health Initiative. This $63 billion project will help developing countries improve their health care systems, with a special emphasis on women, children, and newborns. In accepting this position, Quam decided to step down as CEO of the company she founded and hand leadership to Norwegian Terje Mikalsen, co-founder and former chairman of Norsk Data.

“Although we are sad to see Lois leave the firm, Tysvar will continue to follow through on her vision to help bring the new green economy to scale and make quality health care affordable and accessible to everyone,” Mikalsen said on Tysvar's Web site. “We wish Lois all the best as she assumes her new position at the State Department. Her vision and leadership will help improve health care delivery and access for millions of people around the world.”

On Earth Day Lois Quam gave a speech at the University of St. Thomas on the emerging opportunities in the NGE after which she said, “I enjoyed sharing …how we can all use these key capabilities as a platform for doing something you love. Imagine: helping to build the NGE with a purposeful passion. It doesn't get much better than that!”

In another speech she illustrated her philosophy:

The change required to combat climate change and conserve biodiversity will create a change in business and society similar to the Industrial Revolution. The new energy realities require nothing short of an energy revolution, a thorough retooling of our energy economy in ways that match up with the realities of the 21st century. It will affect every aspect of daily life and business, creating an immense set of opportunities for investors, businesses and individuals.

For investors, there are highly diverse and immense opportunities to create and scale new sources of energy, adapt our current methods of production and improve daily life in ways that drive down global warming emissions.

It will also create unprecedented depth and breadth of opportunities for businesses and investors…. clean energy will always be in strong demand …the world will always have massive energy needs, and they will always have to be balanced against the needs of the environment …the clean energy industry is fueled by the laws of nature—and there is no force as powerful or promising.

Think about what we can achieve working together at this conference and as a region …and think about the time sometime in the future when our work is reaching critical mass, when our environment is safer and our energy is cleaner, when we too will have our eureka moments, our moments of life-changing and world-changing discovery.

Answer 1

Answer:-

1)Emotions and moods, particularly the impacts of a particular reason, and moods have no basic starting point for training, are to be tended to first before moving into the points of interest of Lois' vision. Truth be told, in any case, both are controllable by an individual willing to control them.

This remark was presently routed to Lois Voice, stating that "I am confident" speaks to the constructive character, moods and emotions. It uncovers how she carries out her responsibility without having to manage negative emotions.

I was interested in her discussion with these words that she needs to assemble another economy and her valiant line of approach, that we might be facing difficulties for this undertaking, yet those issues aren't more prominent than our ability for the crowd to concur with and bolster this chance. A leader can lead just in the event that the individual has constructive feelings, at that point the individual can make a move.

2) Lois colleagues ' attitudes based on three central segments of a mentality, intellectual, emotional and social, will assume a significant job for some in America if Tysvar employees continue to chip away at the objectives of the organization. Tysvar will continue to have a significant effect to the US economy on the off chance that it continues dynamic with its strategic form the New Green Economy.

While Lois Quam's colleagues depend on her promise to the New Green Economy (NGE) and improve health care, they will look up to the extraordinary difficulties nearby powerful arrangements. They will continue to follow their vision.

3) Louis Quam was named in 2006 by fortune magazine, one of America 50 most influential women. Her portfolio demonstrated that she worked as the head of key endeavor, green economy and prosperity at Pipper Jaffrey a main all inclusive hypothesis bank, including spells as president and CEO of individuals all in all, and senior market section. Similarly as serving on the Minnesota medicinal administrations commission taking on industry Goliath, and carrying assurance to an enormous number of Minnesotan.

In case that isn't a perfect instructive program vitae, by then what is? Having originated from Norwegian pioneers Lois story must be told and as such her vision, her perceptiveness, and energy can be joined to modify her being picked to lead this program.

4) The new clinical act of Tysvar offers counsel and interview to health insurance businesses and associations, Medicare, Medicaid, Long Term Care, Ems, clinical hardware and emergency clinic administration. Tysvar's Green Innovation organization has been offering vital guidance and suggestions to organizations and associations in developing green innovation divisions with uncommon accentuation on new types of clean vitality and green procedures.

Prediktor, a designer of programming answers for the structure and processing of manufacturing forms, is right now working with the various customers.

The employees of Tysvar were certain that they improved health care, and worked reliably to make the cutting edge increasingly sustainable.
