About the Program
Join us for an executive conversation on the forces reshaping healthcare and the leadership capabilities needed to navigate them.
The discussion will move from emerging industry trends to technology, workforce expectations, financial sustainability, and the development of the next generation of healthcare leaders.
There's no fee to attend, but registration is required.
Some of the topics and questions covered include:
- Looking ahead five years, what trend or challenge do you believe will have the greatest impact on healthcare, and how are you preparing your organization for it?
- Where do you see AI and automation creating the greatest opportunity in healthcare, and where should leaders exercise caution?
- Healthcare leaders are expected to improve access, quality, patient experience, and employee engagement while maintaining financial sustainability. How do you prioritize when these objectives compete?
- What will distinguish successful healthcare executives over the next decade? For aspiring leaders, what is one thing they should be doing now—and one thing they should avoid?
