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.

Listen in to learn…

What true innovation looks like
Further information about setting up ‘innovation zones’ and why they are necessary to support and protect outside-the-box thinking
How the average leader can become transformational if given the freedom and support to innovate, and look at the problem through an entirely different human systems lens
