Global Access

Designed for international participation with global healthcare innovation leaders

As a healthcare executive, you face unprecedented pressure to drive innovation while navigating complex regulatory environments, accelerating technological advancements, and evolving market dynamics. Despite significant investments in innovation initiatives, many organizations struggle to systematically translate creative ideas into measurable business growth and improved patient outcomes.

This exclusive four-part workshop series addresses the gap between innovation aspirations and systematic execution that healthcare leaders face today. Unlike traditional creativity-focused approaches, this program introduces you to the evidence-based Innovation360 methodology—built on insights from over 10,000 companies across 105 countries and specifically adapted for healthcare organizations.

What You'll Gain from Each Session

Session 1 – October 2: Three Horizons of Innovation
The Three Horizons Model helps companies to conceptualize and focus their innovation efforts across three different timeframes. Each of them requires different capabilities, strategies, leadership styles, and approaches. As a result of this session, you will be able to:

1) Identify different types of innovation and understand their role in growing your business.
2) Find out the strengths and gaps of your current approach.
3) Develop an innovation management plan based on the three horizons.

Session 2 – October 9: Innovation IQ
InnoSurvey is the world’s largest business innovation database, featuring over 10,000 companies from 105 countries. This big data analysis helped to develop an evidence-based assessment of a company’s Innovation IQ, based on the capabilities necessary to grow sales and improve profitability. This session will help you:

1) Understand your company’s capabilities.
2) Identify your strengths, untapped potential, and areas for improvement.

Session 3 – October 16: Four Stages of the Innovation Process
The innovation process comprises the following steps: Ideation, Selection, Development, and Commercialization. Each can be improved to innovate more quickly and effectively. Time to market depends on the efficiency of all four steps.
During this session, you will:

1) Learn which capabilities are necessary at each step of the innovation process.
2) Identify gaps in your company’s approach to the innovation process.

Session 4 – October 23: Innovation Management in Organizations
Innovation management is a systematic approach to generating growth and profitability. It’s built on the competencies of the team, processes, governance, and systems. It can be centralized, decentralized, or a hybrid. The new model, referred to as ‘fractal organization,’ requires the replicability of innovation capabilities across geographies and departments.
During this session, you will:

1) Learn how different innovation types should be managed in your organization.
2) Identify areas of improvement in your approach.
3) Learn about the requirements for innovation systems.
