LEADER DIALOGUE: Transformation Requires Innovation – Deep Dive with Roger Spoelman

00:00 /

In part 2 of the Innovation discussion Ben and Duffie are joined by Roger Spoelman SVP, Strategic and Operational Integration, Trinity health, CEO Mercy Health, and interim CEO Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago. (Roger is Ben’s executive coach). In part 1 of this 2-part Innovation series, Roger can be seen in the Mercy Health video explaining why all great transformations have necessitated innovation. Under his leadership, the Innovation Hub was born as a renaissance zone for Trinity Health, and the Innovative Primary Clinic was born based upon the innovation thinking and application of human centered design by the Innovation Hub team.

In part 2 we pick up where we left off discussing how success is truly on the far side of failure. Roger shares how the innovation process encourages people to think outside of the box to achieve break-throughs. How appropriately messy the process can be, and how it is essential to any organization positioning themselves for the future.

LEADER DIALOGUE: Transformation Requires Innovation - Mercy Health Case Study

00:00 /

In part 1 of the Innovation discussion, hosts Ben Sawyer and Jennifer Strahan introduce the Mercy Health innovation case study (introductory video included). All great transformations have necessitated innovation. For example, Thomas Edison’s teachers said he was “too stupid to learn anything.” And, he was fired from his first two jobs for being “non-productive.” Clearly his teachers and employers did not understand the process of innovation. As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, “How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?” Edison replied, “I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.”

Success is on the far side of failure. How can we avoid, like Edison’s teachers and employers, the potential of sacrificing innovative break-throughs due to productivity and/or budget constraints?

Listen in to learn…

Why innovation is essential for transformation
How the Mercy Health team applied human centered design innovation to transform Primary Care practice, improving patient and provider satisfaction, quality, and productivity as a result
Why “innovation zones” are necessary to support and protect thinking outside the box
How servant leaders support innovation and workforce empowerment
How innovation can be the difference between success and failure
