Interview with Roche About Innovation in Healthcare

I was recently interviewed by Roche for a two-part series about innovation in healthcare.

Interview #1 – Create a Culture of Innovation:

The primary focus of this interview was on how to create a culture of innovation.

  • My definition of innovation
  • Why thinking outside the box can reduce innovation
  • A video with my “brick” exercise that demonstrates the power of positive constraints
  • The importance of asking the right questions
  • The three levels of work (support, core, and differentiating)
  • The 5Ds of differentiation
  • My FAST Innovation Model

You can read the first interview here on the Healthcare Transformers website.

Interview #2 – Best Practices for Innovating in Healthcare:

This conversation focused on where to get your best ideas. Given I write the book, Best Practices are Stupid, clearly I would be suggesting other places for finding inspiration.

  • The three reasons best practices are stupid
  • How to recognize best practices – and when to use them
  • Why expertise is the enemy of innovation
  • A video on how to leverage the expertise of others
  • Innovation personalities and blindspots
  • A video about my Personality Poker®
  • How to ask the right questions and the negative impact of confirmation bias
  • How leaders can stay one step ahead of the curve
  • How to maintain momentum with innovation initiatives and avoid the antibodies that kill them
  • How to build an innovative team and foster an innovative culture
