The Elephant in the Room Engaging with the Unsaid in Groups and Organizations

The Elephant in the Room Engaging with the Unsaid in Groups and Organizations

A group is working on a business challenge. The group members are under pressure. They have a lot to accomplish and a limited amount of time. After first attempting to develop an overview of their common task they try to make a plan to ensure an efficient group process. The planning is proving difficult. We’ve all been there. We are in a working group or at a meeting discussing a topic or a challenge and all the while as a separate track running underneath our conversation there is a subtext that no one explicitly addresses. This is an example of ‘the elephant in the room. ’ Most of us notice the elephant it gets in the way and it’s difficult to deal with until someone points at it and says ‘There it is let’s take a look at it and reduce its impact. ’ With an engaging use of examples and questions the book addresses how we can best deal with the elephant and thus promote job satisfaction creativity and productivity. In the context of action what we notice often recedes into the background and gradually slips out of focus until we eventually reconnect with our need to reflect and recreate a space for it. This book addresses the challenge of focusing on holding on to and acting on what we notice ‘in the middle of it all. ’ Maintaining a simultaneous focus on task and process – what we do and what we notice – is what I define as ‘double awareness. ’ Double awareness is not only a core capacity but also a core challenge. The aim of the book is to promote understanding and awareness of this core challenge and to inspire both reflection and action in anyone wishing to improve their capacity for double awareness. How can we define and understand the practice of mindful avoidance? And can we as members of groups and organizations begin to practice mindful action by engaging in and acting on what we notice in real time? | The Elephant in the Room Engaging with the Unsaid in Groups and Organizations

Digital Health and Patient Data Empowering Patients in the Healthcare Ecosystem

Digital Health and Patient Data Empowering Patients in the Healthcare Ecosystem

Patients with unmet needs will continue to increase as no viable nor adequate treatment exists. Meanwhile healthcare systems are struggling to cope with the rise of patients with chronic diseases the ageing population and the increasing cost of drugs. What if there is a faster and less expensive way to provide better care for patients using the right digital solutions and transforming the growing volumes of health data into insights? The increase of digital health has grown exponentially in the last few years. Why is there a slow uptake of these new digital solutions in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries? One of the key reasons is that patients are often left out of the innovation process. Their data are used without their knowledge solutions designed for them are developed without their input and healthcare professionals refuse their expertise. This book explores what it means to empower patients in a digital world and how this empowerment will bridge the gap between science technology and patients. All these components need to co-exist to bring value not only to the patients themselves but to improve the healthcare ecosystem. Patients have taken matters into their own hands. Some are equipped with the latest wearables and applications engaged in improving their health using data empowered to make informed decisions and ultimately are experts in their disease(s). They are the e-patients. The other side of the spectrum are patients with minimal digital literacy but equally willing to donate their data for the purpose of research. Finding the right balance when using digital health solutions becomes as critical as the need to develop a disease-specific solution. For the first time the authors look at healthcare and technologies through the lens of patients and physicians via surveys and interviews in order to understand their perspective on digital health analyse the benefits for them explore how they can actively engage in the innovation process and identify the threats and opportunities the large volumes of data create by digitizing healthcare. Are patients truly ready to know everything about their health? What is the value of their data? How can other stakeholders join the patient empowerment movement? This unique perspective will help us re-design the future of healthcare - an industry in desperate need for a change. | Digital Health and Patient Data Empowering Patients in the Healthcare Ecosystem

The Logics of Healthcare The Professional’s Guide to Health Systems Science

The Logics of Healthcare The Professional’s Guide to Health Systems Science

Most of the current literature on healthcare operations management is focused on importing principles and methods from manufacturing. The evidence of success is scattered and nowhere near what has been achieved in other industries. This book develops the idea that the logic of production and production systems in healthcare is significantly different. A line of thing that acknowledges the ingenious characteristics of health service production is developed. This book builds on a managerial segmentation of healthcare based on fundamental demand-supply constellations. Demand can be classified with the variables urgency severity and randomness. Supply is constrained by medical technology (accuracy of diagnostics efficacy of therapies) patient health behavior (co-creation of health) and resource availability. Out of this emerge seven demand-supply-based operational types (DSO): prevention emergencies one-visit electives cure care and projects. Each of these have distinct managerial characteristics such as time-perspective level of co-creation value proposition revenue structure productivity and other key performance indicators (KPI). The DSOs can be envisioned as platforms upon which clinical modules are attached. For example any Emergency Department (ED) must be managed to deal with prioritization time-windows agitated patients the necessity to save and stabilize and variability in demand. Specific clinical assets and skill-sets are required for say massive trauma strokes cardiac events or poisoning. While representing different specialties of clinical medicine they when applied in the emergency – context must conform to the demand-supply-based operating logic. A basic assumption in this book is that the perceived complexity of healthcare arises from the conflicting demands of the DSO and the clinical realms. The seven DSOs can neatly be juxtaposed on the much-used Business Model Canvas (BMC) which postulates the business model elements as value proposition; customer segments channels and relations; key activities resources and partners; the cost structure; and the revenue model. | The Logics of Healthcare The Professional’s Guide to Health Systems Science

The Executive's Guide to AI and Analytics The Foundations of Execution and Success in the New World

The Executive's Guide to AI and Analytics The Foundations of Execution and Success in the New World

The Problem? Companies are failing to deliver on AI and analytics with over half stating they are not yet treating data as a business asset. Over half admit that they are not competing on data and analytics. Seven out of 10 companies in a 2020 MIT study reported minimal or no impact from AI so far. Among the 90% of companies that have made some investment in AI fewer than 2 out of 5 (40%) report business gains from AI in the past three years. And only about 25% of organizations have actually forged this data-driven culture. Is investment lacking? No. Companies now are spending more than ever in data analytics and AI technologies. Is it a lack of technology? No. There are fascinating breakthroughs occurring on all fronts with image voice and streaming pattern recognition on the forefront. Is it a lack of technical talent? Not really. While some studies cite that we need to train more data scientists developers and related professionals the curve of demand by supply is dampening. Is it a lack of creating an executable strategic plan? Yes. While there has been a lot of strategic wishing organizations lack meaningful strategic plans. Specifically the development of executable strategies and the leadership to see these strategies brought to fruition. This is the problem. Lack of execution and lack of incorporating key components that align and enable execution of the business strategy to delivery is killing AI and analytics programs. Scott Burk and Gary D. Miner have written this book for executives at all levels who are charged with executing on analytics that need to address this issue. The book provides unique insights into repairing the gaps that programs need to fill to provide value from analytics programs. It complements their three-part series It’s All Analytics! by focusing on leadership decisions that augment data literacy organizational architecture and AI case studies. | The Executive's Guide to AI and Analytics The Foundations of Execution and Success in the New World

The Framework for Innovation A Guide to the Body of Innovation Knowledge

The Framework for Innovation A Guide to the Body of Innovation Knowledge

The innovation infrastructure and master plan described in this book offers a detailed and comprehensive approach to one of the most difficult and challenging problems facing entrepreneurs involved in innovation at any scale enterprise: the problem of how to govern your organization’s innovation initiatives in the middle of turbulent change. Progress in any field requires the development of a framework a structure that organizes the accumulating knowledge enables people to master it and unifies the key discoveries into a set of principles that makes them understandable and actionable. For starters successful innovation requires an integrated design process beginning with integration in the design of the enterprise the design of the product along with the design and implementation of new technologies. Such an integrated design effort requires good collaboration and management of the design framework and should be supported by efficient knowledge management techniques and tools; If innovation is to help a business grow and improve its competitiveness it is also important to plan the innovation carefully. This book provides a holistic multidisciplinary framework that will enable your organization and its leaders to take a strategic approach to innovation. The framework combines non-traditional creative approaches to business innovation with conventional strategy development models. The framework model brings together perspectives from many complementary disciplines: the non-traditional approaches to innovation found in the business creativity movement; multiple-source strategy consulting; the new product development perspective of many leading industrial design firms; qualitative consumer/customer research; future-based research found in think tanks and traditional scenario planning; and organizational development (OD) practices that examine the effectiveness of an organization’s culture processes and structure. Though some ideas may just fall from the sky or come out of the blue an organization should also have a strategic vision of how the business and the enterprise will successfully develop. It should not just wait for the innovation to arrive arbitrarily but rather proactively plan for innovation incorporating market trends the competitive landscape new technology availability and changes in customer preferences and trends in order to create a flexible in-house innovation process. Such an enterprise will also pro-actively manage the knowledge supply chain that supports innovation as outlined in this book #7 of Management Handbook for Results series. The framework outlined in this handbook consists of a well-integrated cohesive set of practices that inspires imaginative innovation teams to look beyond the obvious and explore a broad range of possibilities to identify significant opportunities and make informed decisions about the most promising paths to pursue. The goal is to create a shared vision for growth along with defining pragmatic action plans that bridge from the future back to the present while attempting to align the organization around the requirements for success. | The Framework for Innovation A Guide to the Body of Innovation Knowledge

Redefining Innovation Embracing the 80-80 Rule to Ignite Growth in the Biopharmaceutical Industry

Redefining Innovation Embracing the 80-80 Rule to Ignite Growth in the Biopharmaceutical Industry

Most people marvel at the level of innovation demonstrated by the biopharmaceutical industry in bringing new products to the market – especially in the past 20 years. However there is a crisis looming in the industry that should be a concern to all of us who take for granted the constant pace at which new treatments and increasingly cures have emerged from the laboratories of current sector incumbents. In the book we examine the evolution of the biopharmaceutical industry to understand how it became what we term a unicorn industry with a unique US-centered business model that has led to multiple blockbuster products (aka unicorns) year after year. We explore how past success has created perceived barriers to innovation diversification beyond the chemical or biological-based biopharmaceutical product and highlight the warning signs of the industry’s decline. We define a potential pathway for transforming the industry’s business model by broadening the definition sources and enablers of innovation beyond the traditional biopharmaceutical product. We introduce and advocate for the 80-80 Rule - Being 80% confident that you will only be 80% right the first time should feel normal. The 80-80 Rule is a theme that emphasizes speed and willingness to embrace uncertainty and overcome internal barriers to change. It sets the standard for redefining innovation as a platform to reignite growth of the biopharmaceutical industry. | Redefining Innovation Embracing the 80-80 Rule to Ignite Growth in the Biopharmaceutical Industry
