This webinar is tailored for mid- to senior-level leaders charged with enabling change in complex and hard-to-change organizational systems, particularly leaders from a management or clinical background in the health and care sectors.

This engaging webinar will help participants evolve their leadership skills stack so it is future ready. Dr. Khayat will explore a range of topics such as digital health and AI, financial stewardship, systemic design, and leading health innovation through complexity.

Key takeaways:

The future of health(care) is poised to be nearly unrecognizable from what it has been for the past 75+ years
There is a new stack of skills that current and emerging leaders in the health sector are building in order to be resilient to – and perhaps thrive in – the multiple parallel changes impacting the future of health and care
Capacity is being built in new ways at individual and organizational levels to drive innovation on many fronts in the health sector: care models, operating models, business models and at an overall system level (systemic design)
Futurism and futures thinking is becoming a core competency across all aspects of health and care – organizations are deploying a range of tactics to build these skills
Current leaders have a choice – evolve and be the protagonist of the future of healthcare, or react and continue to protect a past version of the health system that is no longer fit for purpose
