Rebecca Fogg, Senior Research Fellow of the healthcare practice at the Christensen Institute, joins the Innovation Sherpas from across the pond to talk disruption, air ambulances, Jobs to Be Done, and why she switched from consumer financial services to research on healthcare business model innovation. Rebecca shares some of her finely tuned insights on why the healthcare industry is so difficult to disrupt, how she identifies and evaluates business models with disruptive potential, and what’s next on the horizon for her research. Check out her research and blog series on the Christensen Institute site, then prepare to be enlightened by her exceptional disruptive innovation analysis. If you’re sick and the doctor prescribed more disruptive innovation, this episode is the medicine!

Our human-centered design Sherpas Elizabeth Benfield Watson and Sally Baek are joined by a special guest, John Tartt, AVP of Enterprise Risk Management at Atrium Health, to talk about the Innovation Engine’s Catalyst Program.  Risk management may sound out of place in the world of innovation, but John is a great friend of our team and he’s a terrific example of how the mindset of human-centered design can grow in an organization when you properly plant and cultivate the seeds.  Hear about how the Catalyst Program, now in its fourth year, originally sprouted, and how it has grown and evolved.  Honorable mentions to Kaiser Permanente Innovation Consultancy and Intuit’s Innovation Lab for providing early inspiration to our team as we seek to build the environment for innovation at Atrium Health.

Your disruptive innovation Sherpas are back to discuss how the theory may be playing out in healthcare.  Will Behrmann, Jay Gerhart and Ann Somers Hogg cover a lot of ground on the complex and ever-changing healthcare landscape.  Is disruption truly occurring?  Why does it matter? Do we really want it to occur?  What will it look like?  Weighty questions indeed.  CVS/Aetna, primary care disruptors, health care system talent joining large tech companies, personalized care moving into the home…and Ben performs some Shakespeare.

Jay takes the show on the road for the Innovation Learning Network’s InPerson Meeting (absolutely not a conference) in Sacramento, California, hosted by The Shop at VSP.  He first talks on-site with ILN Executive Director Chris McCarthy and Christine Folck, Manager & Leader of Operational Strategy at VSP Global to set the stage for the meeting.  Then he talks with Jay Sales, Co-Director, VSP Global and Keynote Speaker Chef Patrick Mulvaney about the local mental health issue that ILNers rolled up their sleeves to address.  Once safely home and free of jet lag, Jay joins Ben in the Sherpa studio to recap this unique event that has hopefully left its mark on Sacramento in a big, meaningful way.

Join Innovation Sherpas Ann Somers Hogg and Elizabeth Watson in a continuation of their Twitter barrage sharing their experiences and highlights from their recent attendance at Mayo Clinic’s Transform 2018 Conference in Rochester, Minnesota. Learn about the industry’s focus to meet people where they really are, move from incremental to transformational change, and why moving care from the clinic to the home is critical for that transformation. Hear about Ann Somers and Elizabeth’s side trip and how it involves a use for the country’s growing number of vacated malls.  If you attended the Transform 2018 Conference this episode will be an engaging recap, and for those who haven’t attended you’ll quickly see why you should!
