Applying Design Thinking to Healthcare’s Most Pressing Challenges
Healthcare has never had more opportunities to innovate or felt more pressure to get it right. From AI and workforce shortages to financial sustainability and operational performance, today’s challenges require leaders to think differently about how they solve problems and lead change. In this interactive session, participants will explore practical, human-centered approaches for defining the right problems, engaging stakeholders, and reducing the risk of costly implementation failures. Through real-world healthcare examples, attendees will leave with practical strategies they can apply immediately to lead innovation more effectively within their own organizations.
After participating in this session, attendees will be able to:
- Recognize why healthcare organizations often solve the wrong problems.
- Describe practical strategies for testing ideas, reducing risk, and building confidence.
- Apply human-centered design techniques to engage stakeholders, strengthen adoption, and improve the likelihood of success.
