The contrast between an enterprise with a high level of organizational trust and one with a lack thereof could mean a world of difference in productivity and overall success. How as a leader do you go above and beyond to work to build an exemplary model of trust between employees, leaders, groups and departments?  What are the steps that must be taken in order to build organizational trust and a healthy culture such that new business improvements can be made? And as times change and generational gaps deepen, how can you work to maintain that trust?

The idea behind telemedicine has well-publicized benefits to improving healthcare delivery, but part of the reason behind its slow adoption has been that the term itself has broadened to include video conferencing, store and forward technology and remote monitoring. And as healthcare mobility solutions grow, the definition is further blurring the lines on how to address remote treatment. So how can we combine these two concepts? How can mobile solutions be used to enable telemedicine and a wider use of Electronic Medical Records while addressing security, data and infrastructure concerns?

There are constant opportunities and threats that have the potential to change the way a business operates, however little or great their impact. Businesses need the capability to handle complex, interconnected and unpredictable events. Organizations must quickly set up, detect, and analyze the information they need to ensure the action they take is timely and relevant. Have we mastered the art of identifying and addressing complex events that are either organic or man-made? What are the recent challenges and innovations that can help business get a better grip on complex events?

As data and data management have rapidly become drivers of potential business value, discussions over the need for a Chief Data Officer to champion data strategy have been pervasive. But let’s assume the need is prevalent; how will this person realistically make a valuable input in the enterprise? What should be the CDO’s end goal, and how does a CDO make sure that in the first year on the job, things get done?

Big Data may be the next big thing in healthcare delivery, but it seems as though the ideas are getting ahead of the reality.

The idea of “wellness care” is that of promoting not just a physically fit body but an all-around healthy lifestyle. Numerous industries from healthcare providers, insurance companies, government agencies and corporations touch a person’s life in a variety of ways, and all are poised to help aid this person’s lifestyle choices. Do advances in mobile solutions now make this more possible given how consumers and organizations connect? If so, what benefits could this have to consumers and businesses more broadly, and what realistic steps need to be taken to work toward healthier living?
