The Innovator's Studio

The Innovator’s Studio™ is a collaborative incubator for market-leading health systems seeking to create competitive advantage through value innovation. The Innovator’s Studio provides health care executives with a living laboratory where they can engage in cutting edge research and innovation to bring revolutionary ideas to market and helps forward thinking health care leaders envision new ways of creating a desired future.

The Innovator’s Studio offers invitation-only forums for health care executives on narrowly-focused topics designed to build strategy-critical competencies in competitive markets.  Engagements include both in-person and virtual work sessions wherein members meet and learn with some of the nation’s leading marketing experts -- both in and outside of health care -- to explore emerging trends and innovations in marketing and strategy, exchange ideas and experiences, and develop action frameworks to put new ideas into practice. Gain new ideas, new ways of thinking and new fuel to engage your organization in strategic thinking, planning and action with the Innovator’s Studio. It’s been quite exciting to see how innovation processes and lessons learned from outside industry catalysts from organizations such as Best Buy, Starbucks, Microsoft, Unilever and others can be applied to stimulate breakthrough thinking.

The Innovator’s Studio provides clients with a unique experience using a structured framework within a highly-creative, collaborative environment to:

  • Develop deep insights into specific, emerging trends and forces shaping the future of the health industry
  • Learn about in and out of industry innovations that sparked growth through new markets, new products, new business models and new marketing strategies
  • Meet leading strategists, brand managers, marketing leaders, product developers and researchers from headliner companies
  • Share successes and challenges with peer organizations in non-competing markets   
  • Engage in intellectual challenge and discovery to generate new ideas, concepts and methods
  • Develop action-frameworks to facilitate diffusion and adoption of leading edge strategies and practices in your organization

The Innovator’s Studio – Turning Insights into Ideas and Ideas into Actions

The Innovator’s Studio forums convene in person 2-3 times annually for in-depth working sessions, augmented by virtual meeting places, networking and coaching.  Working sessions are led by the Innovator’s Studio team of facilitators and catalysts in conjunction with leading strategists from brand powerhouses and headliner companies, both in and outside the health industry.

Working sessions produce specific deliverables such as research summaries, assessment tools, white papers, peer networking, case studies and action frameworks to support rapid adoption of leading edge strategies and practices inside your organization.
