BC Virtual LinkUp: How do we drive innovative implementations throughout the BC Region?

Leading innovation programs in healthcare feature defined processes and frameworks that ensure all stakeholders are working in alignment to deliver successful results.

This virtual LinkUp will discuss innovation governance and structured approaches to managing innovation in healthcare. It will feature examples, clinical/technical/business requirements, success stories, and lessons learned to implement innovative and successful programs in healthcare settings.

Discussion topics:

1. What successes have you encountered in implementing an innovation program in your organization/sector? What are the major challenges you are now trying to solve?
2. What stakeholders (ex: healthcare delivery, research, vendors, entrepreneurs, incubator/accelerators, and more) are involved in your innovation program? How do you define roles and responsibilities for a broad set of stakeholders within your innovation program?
   
3. What are the results you are pursing? How do you measure success?
   
4. How do you identify and manage risk in your innovation program?
   
5. How are your managers, executives, board members engaged in decision making (ex: project selection, partnerships, investment, scaling, etc) throughout the process? What communication strategies are employed to share information as part of your innovation program?
