  • E15: Special SXSW Edition – Welcome to the Jungle…And the Future
    Join the Innovation Engine Sherpas as they provide a behind the scenes tour of the SXSW conference, recently held in Austin, TX. SXSW is an innovator’s playground, chock full of analogous learning opportunities and the chance to see emerging trends in various industries, including healthcare. There’s BBQ, bread, breakfast tacos and a lot more. Will and Sally discuss the insights gained from their first time, while seasoned attendee Lindsay explained how she played a role in hosting and guiding top leaders in the healthcare industry, so they could optimize their SXSW experience. Trust us, if you haven’t been to SXSW then after hearing this episode you’ll be ready to sign up for next year’s conference. Our apologies to Will and listeners for minor audio issue during the first half. There are times we do try to mute him, but not for our podcast!

  • E14: Proactive Health Part 2 - Creating a New Frontier
    Your Innovation Engine Sherpas welcome back Dr. Greg Weidner in a "How We Built This" episode on Proactive Health - primary care, reimagined. He and Ann Somers Hogg discuss how the partnership of Proactive Health and the Innovation Engine emptied the innovation toolbox, moving from theory to application in the development of a new value-based primary care model at Atrium Health.
    In an extraordinary turn of events, Ann Somers actually kinda sorta pulls off a sports analogy!
    Then Ben sings Pink Floyd. And they all talk about pirate ships. You just don't get that from your typical health care innovation podcast.
    With gratitude to Dr. Clay Christensen for his incredible visionary thinking, and to Bob Moesta (@bmoesta) for being our Jobs to be Done sensei, teaching us a new and better way of talking to our customers.
    The advice: Go big or go home, disruptive innovations require autonomy.
    For those of you who use "the Twitter": @DrWeidner @annsomerswh #InnovationEngine

    The Experience Economy - B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore

  • E12: An Exponentially Fine Lens - Amazon, Berkshire & JP
    Your Innovation Engine Sherpas explore the new Amazon-Berkshire Hathaway-J.P. Morgan Chase venture through the lens of Aggregation Theory. So what's that? Don't worry, we'll explain it! Special thanks (an understatement) to Ben Thompson of Stratechery and the ExponentFM Podcast and his podcast partner James Allworth. Ben's understanding of Amazon's strategy and business model, and his formulation of Aggregation Theory are absolute must-reads for anyone trying to sort out what might transpire in the years ahead. We are grateful to Ben and James for their insight, and for teaming up on our favorite podcast. Yes, some of us in health care are listening, and we totally grok it!

  • E11: How Do You Make a Sherpa?
    Are innovators born or made? Your Innovation Engine Sherpas get up close and personal, discussing experiences that have been helpful to them on their innovation career journeys - including decompression chambers, wet concrete and high school musicals. Where do you find resilience, hustle and comfort with the unknown? Dr. Jean Wright, Jay Gerhart and Lindsay Deneault (A Boomer, a Gen X, and of course, a Millennial) share their stories and have a little fun - stick around past the exit music for some outtakes!

  • E9: Jobs to be Done - It's Not About Us, It's About You
    Your Innovation Sherpas continue their series on Jobs to be Done. Why is this theory so well suited to the healthcare industry? How has Carolinas HealthCare System used Jobs to be Done to enhance its services and develop new products?

    Your Innovation Sherpas start a multi-episode series on Jobs to be Done. Why does this theory resonate so well? What jobs arise in your life? And the only way we've ever managed to stymie Ann Somers - old guy references. #InnovationEngine @JayGerhart @annsomerswh @WillBehrmann We are indebted to the following for inspiration, professional and personal growth: Clayton Christensen, Karen Dillon, Taddy Hall and David Duncan for writing Competing Against Luck Bob Moesta and the ReWired Group - our JTBD senseis.
