Nina Božič Yams holds a Ph.D. in Innovation Management and works as an innovation facilitator and researcher in the fields of innovation management and the future of work at RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden).

Since 2010, she has been researching how the knowledge, methods, and practices of contemporary dance art can stimulate creativity, change, and innovation in research on development processes in the public sector and industry. Her doctoral thesis and the resulting book, titled “The Poetry of Everyday Work,” were inspired by both the practice and theory of contemporary dance arts.

She began her career as a management consultant at Deloitte, established the CEED Slovenia entrepreneurship center, and subsequently continued her career and research work in Sweden as an innovation consultant and entrepreneurial researcher in collaboration with the municipalities of Nacka, Eskilstuna, and Västerås, and companies such as ABB, Electrolux, Ericsson, GodEl, and others.

Since 2018, she has been dedicated to exploring the potential of smart technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), to enrich the human experience of reality and transform the future of work. She is inspired by speculative design and fiction. Using various artistic media, she helps organizations and companies explore possible futures.
