The world is flooded with the notion that story is the key to finding and discovering the next great idea, exposing your true business model, and exploring the landscape of a deep problem. At Business Innovation Factory’s 2015 event in Providence, this concept hit the pavement and left many parts of my brain raw, exposed, and ready to dig deeper into what I was experiencing.
I’m thrilled to be on the ground in Minneapolis this week speaking, attending, and geeking out at the AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting. You can join the fun on #ARM15. Warning: we all really love a great regression analysis and r2.
Finding the MacGyver moments inside clinical health care, Day One.
14 years ago this September, I experienced my first day working in clinical healthcare.

That abrupt lesson carved my path forward, though, and I left with an acute awareness of the capabilities of meaningful clinical encounters.
