The Future of Healthcare is Built Around the Consumer, Not You. Healthcare organizations are rethinking their role(s) in the new healthcare economy. Social, mobile, analytics, and cloud technologies are the underpinnings of new business models that fuse technology and traditional services. These new models will fundamentally alter how healthcare organizations interact with patients and one another to deliver care and manage health while keeping costs down. Cash-rich companies are creating new opportunities with startups – designed to disrupt and invade the healthcare venture space – nibbling at the edges of the traditional healthcare ecosystem. Technology, retail and hospitality models are being used to engage the consumer directly and leverage the workforce. It’s an awesome time to be in healthcare. ...less

Product and Service Ideas are Cheap – Delivering Margin in Hard Over the past 20 years, I’ve met with well over 100 healthcare corporations, all looking to create new products and services. They see their market shifting and the customer base questioning the value of their purchases. These teams all know that the current product or service mix will soon become prey to new entrants. They have ideas – often BIG ideas for something new; but lack a framework to evaluate their options and build something meaningful. This presentation is about how evaluate – from a long list of options and opportunities – those new ideas for products and services that could become transformative of the business – and how to build them with margin that make a significant financial contribution to the company’s bottom line. ...less

The healthcare system of our country is poised for significant change. And leading change is very difficult. The task requires Transformational Leadership skill. Transformational leaders possess a definable set of professional and personal skills, values, and traits. They must be thoroughly familiar with the organization's programs, and must have the knowledge and skills required running them. In addition, transformational leaders must be dependable, think independently, possess integrity and high moral values, be politically aware of others, and be able to work in teams within the health care hierarchy. That’s a tall order. Finally, transformational leaders motivate workers to exceed established performance standards and to transcend their self-interest for the good of the organization. For this to happen, teams must identify with their leader's values and vision of the future. ...less
