- Health Care in the New Millennium: Vision, Values and Leadership
Morrison gives health care executives, doctors and nurses a guided tour of what's in store for health care in the coming years - The Future of Healthcare
Healthcare is in a state of fluctuation. Healthcare costs are rising and the burden is increasingly being shifted to consumers. We see massive horizontal consolidation of pharmaceutical companies, health plans, hospital systems, and to a lesser extent physician groups. Challenges abound. The industry is looking for a new direction and a new vision, but we fall prey to fads, as organizations are stretched thin by the roller coaster of change in management philosophy, reimbursement, and medical technology. Morrison focuses on the political, economic, and strategic context of change in healthcare and examines how the various factors prepare for the future. He identifies leadership challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, and provides strategic insights on how organizations and individuals can flourish in the new millennium in healthcare. - What Does our Health Care System Look Like Post Covid-19?
- America Divided on the Affordable Care Act
- The Worst Case Scenario and Best Case Scenario for Implementing Obamacare
- The Second Curve - Managing the Velocity of Change
The thesis of Ian Morrison's The Second Curve": Managing the Velocity of Change (Ballantine, 1996) is that most businesses in most industries are going along quite nicely on their first curve (their core business) where they make all their profit and revenue. Then along comes a second curve - a new business or completely new way of doing business - that threatens to replace the first curve. The second curve is driven by the confluence of three powerful driving forces: new technologies, such as the Internet; new consumers, who are smarter, more affluent, more skeptical, and more demanding than the previous generation; and new markets, such as China, with its 1.2 billion consumers. The challenge is to gauge how fast the second curve will take over and develop strategy accordingly. All of the current profit is on the First Curve, all of the future growth is on the Second Curve. Organizations and individuals need to respond to the Second Curve. But there is a natural human tendency to overestimate the impact of phenomena in the short run, and underestimate it in the long run. The key is to understand and manage the velocity of change. - A Look at the Next Economy
Massive forces of change are shaping the Next Economy. Demographic shifts around the world, powerful new technologies, and new organizational forms are creating change for organizations and individuals. Futurist Ian Morrison, with his incisive Scottish wit, will explain where the global economy has been and where it is headed, with particular emphasis on what it all means for American audiences whether they be corporations, non profit organizations or individuals. Drawing on more than 25 years experience as a futurist, Ian provides a lively and engaging view of what lies ahead and what it means for you and your organization. - The Future of the Health Care Marketplace: Life in the Gap and Life in the Game
With the historic passage of health care reform legislation, the American healthcare system looks to the future. The full impact of the new legislation will not be felt until 2014 and beyond, but in the meantime, all health care stakeholders must deal with “Life in the Gap” before new provisions are implemented. At the same time, all health care stakeholders must prepare for the new emerging reality of health care reform and try to determine what “Life in the Game” will be like in a reformed system in 2014 and beyond. Organizations and individuals need to be flexible to adjust to additional modifications in the reform agenda, including the push for more widespread reimbursement reform, the growth in transparency and accountability and the relentless quest for value in healthcare. This presentation will focus on the political, economic and strategic context of change in healthcare, describe the possible scenarios we face and examine how the various actors are preparing for the future. It will identify the leadership challenges and opportunities that lie ahead and will provide strategic insights on how organizations and individuals can flourish in the future.
