Disruptive Innovation Theory & Practice, Plain & Simple

Note: This course was recently updated (Dec 2022)

WHY IS THIS COURSE IMPORTANT?

"Business as usual" is no longer a viable strategic option for business and especially the healthcare sector.  Healthcare costs are skyrocketing and the quality of care does not seem to be increasing significantly.  Some hospitals are experiencing bankruptcy.  Non healthcare entrants like Google, Amazon and Apple are seeing strategic opportunities in healthcare.  Many think the healthcare business model needs to be significantly changed or "disrupted" to survive.  Learning the key concepts behind disruptive innovation with proof cases is key to being able to plan for this new world of high value healthcare.

WHAT IS YOUR TEACHING STYLE?

My teaching style is a very pragmatic one. I assume you know nothing about this topic and start with the foundation and build from there. Some of these concepts could be challenging, so I sprinkle in as many examples as I can, both non healthcare and healthcare, to assure full understanding of the topic. This is why I have appended "Plain and Simple" to all my courses.
