That's exactly what I'll be addressing at the upcoming Disruption Expo, where we'll dive into actionable insights that will redefine how we innovate in the ever-evolving world of healthcare.

The Future of Healthcare Innovation: A Collaborative Approach

In my presentation at the Disruption Expo, I’ll be exploring how collaborative innovation will revolutionize healthcare's future and our ability to impact it. The days of siloed thinking are over; true innovation now demands collaboration with cutting-edge technologies, disruptive processes, and forward-thinking strategies. Together, we will uncover how artificial intelligence (AI), robotic process automation (RPA), and the connection of all things (IoT) will serve as pivotal players in driving growth, efficiency, and better outcomes for providers, staff, and most importantly, patients.

The Role of Collaborative Innovation in Driving Unpredictable Growth

The concept of "collaborative innovation" isn't just a buzzword; it’s the foundation upon which future-ready enterprises are built. By integrating AI, RPA, and IoT into healthcare strategies, organizations can achieve unpredictable growth while simultaneously enhancing the human experience for all stakeholders involved. Here’s a glimpse of what I'll cover:

1. Artificial Intelligence & Healthcare: Discover how AI is not just a tool but a partner in innovation. I’ll share insights into how AI-driven analytics and decision-making are accelerating the pace of discovery, development, and delivery of healthcare solutions, providing a more personalized approach to patient care.
2. Robotic Process Automation (RPA): We’ll delve into how RPA can streamline operational processes, reduce administrative burdens, and free up valuable time for healthcare professionals to focus on what matters most – delivering exceptional care.
3. The Connection of All Things (IoT): The Internet of Things has the potential to revolutionize the patient experience by creating interconnected systems that provide real-time data, predictive insights, and improved efficiency. We’ll explore how integrating IoT can lead to more effective treatments and a better understanding of patient needs.

Building Strategies for Future-Ready Enterprises

My presentation will also touch on how the integration of these technologies is reshaping healthcare's landscape. The key lies in developing strategies that embrace the chaos of change while driving sustainable and impactful growth. I’ll discuss:

• Creating a Culture of Innovation: How organizations can foster an environment that encourages creativity, experimentation, and collaboration across all levels.
• Leveraging Data & Insights: Understanding how data can be harnessed to drive decision-making, predict trends, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
• Embracing Change & Unpredictability: The importance of staying agile, adaptable, and open to new possibilities in a constantly shifting landscape.

Insights from 'Chaotic Change': Building a Future-Ready Enterprise

The Critical Role of Human Experience Innovation in the New Experience Economy

In today's rapidly evolving marketplace, traditional methods of driving enterprise growth and maintaining competitiveness are no longer sufficient. As we enter the Experience Economy, where the value of human experience takes center stage, organizations must adopt a new approach—one that places Human Experience Innovation at the heart of their strategy. This isn't just a trend; it's a fundamental shift in how businesses must operate to stay relevant and thrive.

Human Experience Innovation is about reimagining and redesigning every touchpoint within the human experience ecosystem. This ecosystem includes employees, customers, partners, connectors, innovators, and the broader physical and industry communities that interact with your organization. Each participant plays a critical role in shaping and enhancing the overall experience, and the organizations that recognize and leverage this interconnectedness will be the ones that lead in the new economy.

The Power of Employees in the Experience Economy

Employees are the backbone of any organization, and their experience directly impacts customer satisfaction and overall business performance. According to a study by Deloitte, companies that focus on creating a strong employee experience see a 2.5 times greater revenue growth and 4.5 times higher profit margins than their peers . By fostering an environment where employees feel valued, engaged, and empowered, organizations can drive innovation from within and create a ripple effect that enhances the customer experience.

Customers as Co-Creators of Value

In the Experience Economy, customers are no longer passive recipients of products and services. They are active participants and co-creators of value. Companies that excel in Human Experience Innovation understand the importance of engaging customers in meaningful ways, whether through personalized experiences, interactive platforms, or community-building initiatives. A report by PwC reveals that 73% of consumers say a good experience is key in influencing their brand loyalties, and 65% of U.S. consumers find a positive experience with a brand to be more influential than great advertising .

Partners and Connectors: Expanding the Experience Ecosystem

Partnerships and strategic alliances are crucial in extending the reach and impact of Human Experience Innovation. By collaborating with partners who share a commitment to enhancing human experiences, organizations can tap into new ideas, technologies, and markets. Connectors—those who bring people, ideas, and resources together—are also vital in fostering innovation and ensuring that experiences are cohesive across all touchpoints.

Innovators: The Catalysts of Change

Innovators within the organization—whether they are in leadership roles or on the front lines—are the catalysts who drive Human Experience Innovation. These individuals challenge the status quo, introduce new perspectives, and push the boundaries of what's possible. Organizations that nurture a culture of innovation see greater resilience and adaptability, positioning them to thrive in an ever-changing landscape.

The Impact of Physical and Industry Communities

The physical and industry communities in which an organization operates are also integral to the Human Experience ecosystem. These communities provide the context within which experiences are delivered and received. Companies that invest in building strong relationships with their communities—through social responsibility initiatives, local partnerships, and industry engagement—enhance their reputation and create a positive feedback loop that benefits all participants in the ecosystem.

As someone who has launched hundreds of medical devices to the market, I have certainly had more than my fair share of belly flops. In fact, some of these product failures cost me personally millions of dollars, and those are the kinds of lessons that leave a big impact. The impact was so significant, in fact, that I became obsessed with the forensics of what causes product failure. It turns out there are four failure zones that we need to be very careful about when developing our products if we want to create technologies that delight our customers and ultimately scale, grow, and deliver enterprise profit. Now, without further ado, here are my four failure zones to pay very close attention to:

The Innovation Failure Zone

I have been awarded over 40 U.S. patents for technologies that I have created, and unfortunately, it took me a long time to understand the innovation failure zone. This zone is the moment we come up with an idea for a new product. The problem with this moment of innovation is that it originates from us, and therefore we move forward with the innovation with tremendous bias. It is said that love is the most irrational human emotion, and for most innovators, we love our ideas. We’re excited to launch them to market, and that’s where the trouble begins. Even when we seek out advice about our ideas, we typically seek confirmatory advice from spouses, friends, and colleagues. It’s incredible that we look to this body of analysis when none of these confirmatory insights deliver additional value.

How to Avoid the Innovation Failure Zone

Fall out of love with your idea and approach it with tremendous cynicism and skepticism. Successful inventors create lots of products, but they also kill the development of products early on to provide the emotional, time, and financial bandwidth necessary to move on to the next idea.

The Insight Failure Zone

For decades, product developers have limited their insights to voice-of-the-customer methods and feedback from a close circle of individuals who share the same frame of reference. Simply put, the success of innovation lies in the accuracy of the insights.

How to Avoid the Insight Failure Zone

Go far beyond traditional methods of technology assessment, including staged methods, FFE (Front-End Engineering), and VOC (Voice of Customer). These approaches are simply not enough and are generally risk-centric.

The Design Failure Zone

Some studies suggest that less than 2% of issued U.S. patents ever reach successful commercialization. One of the major reasons why most products fail is that the product is launched into the marketplace before it’s finished. Your product needs to have 10X the value of your competition in terms of real customer value. Take your time, finish the design, and whatever you do, don’t launch your product to market until you have installed every drop of value you possibly can.

How to Avoid the Design Failure Zone

Develop design team architecture that is far more expansive in terms of frames of reference and skill sets. Today, the best design teams include AI developers, UX designers, and a wide range of new participants, including artists and architects. The bottom line is that you need more diversity of thinking to have better innovations. Also, don’t become complacent. Be open to new, great ideas.

The Commercialization Failure Zone

I can’t tell you how many failed product developers I have interviewed in researching my multiple books on innovation who told me that their product was so good “it would sell itself.” If you were to give me the choice between a mediocre product with great marketing and commercialization effort or a great product with mediocre marketing and commercialization effort, I would take the ma
