Description

Marcus Whitney is Founding Partner of Jumpstart Health Investors, a venture capital firm focused on innovative healthcare companies, and the author of the best-selling book Create and Orchestrate about claiming your creative power through entrepreneurship. Marcus will discuss the high-level trends that are driving meaningful change in healthcare and in organizations, changing everything we know and understand for better or worse. Even before the great disruptor—COVID-19—health systems were innovating to meet the changing needs of their patients while harnessing the latest advances in science and medicine to provide the highest quality, most personalized care possible. There is no denying that disruption is at the door and nothing is going to stop the breakneck pace of technology. Still, many organizations are failing to embrace this reality while new entrants pass them by. Marcus will discuss how organizations can get beyond cultural biases and other factors that make them behave like innovation is a headwind and instead understand the opportunities to treat innovation like a tailwind.
