So true! I recently softly announced that I’m consulting/advising startups & founders for strategy, product management, and growth and the next thing I experienced was that dozens of well known companies, founders, and brands knocked my door and ready to sign up to be my customers! Feeling grateful and ready to deliver “top quality work” to these awesome companies! What’s that you aim to achieve? Have you knocked that door of opportunity? Have you tried it? Start today, put it out there, get others’ help, pivot as needed, and I’m 💯 confident that before you know it you get there. #productmanagement #productleader #bestproducts #productsmillionslove #customerjourney #customerobsessed #customercentric #productdevelopment #advising #advisor #consultingservices #consulting #advisingstartups #startupstrategies #founders …see more

Dear LinkedIn Members: I invited myself to meet the CEO / Chairman of Kaiser Permanente Health System! I'd like to hear his thoughts about how he plans to lead his organization towards “transformation.” If I get to meet with him, what question would you like me to ask? And I promise if I get to meet with him, I'll write about it here on LinkedIn ... Here is what I wrote to him: “Mr. Chairman: thank you for your inspiring prediction and I'd like to hear more specifics. I've been a “Kaiser Baby” and now a life-long member. My father spent his entire physician career at KP and I've worked and consulted to KP. Yet I'm not really seeing or experiencing anything within the system which reflects your above view. So I really am interested in knowing more... I live here in Oakland and would like to suggest that you invite me to meet you at your office to discuss my experiences and views of Healthcare in 2018! I do hope you’ll take me up on my invitation to meet. And If we meet, I'll share a post of our meeting with my fellow LinkedIn Followers!!” …see more

I'm very happy to see "old news" make "new news!" Checklists have been long proven to improve reliability and safety. It also builds stronger team cohesion because, with when a standard tool is used, everyone is "on the same page." What's great about this news is raising awareness (yet again) that simple, non-expensive tools can do so much good--if used! And that's the rub... making sure such checklists and protocols are routinely used by everyone and not allowing "more senior" doctors or nurses to ignore them. When I board a plane I most definitely (and certainly ) want my inexperienced AND experienced pilots to be using their standard checklists...same in healthcare too...:) …see more

Revolutionary technologies bring a healthier future. In my book, “My Health Upgraded”, I’m sharing the most exciting questions (and providing answers) about the future of medicine. In the upcoming month, I’ll share with you one question from my book each week and provide a short (but sweet) answer. Question 1: Will we 3D print new organs? In short: YES. And it will bring a solution to organ shortages. 3D bioprinting means the creation of living tissues, such as blood vessels, bones, heart or skin via the additive manufacturing technology of 3D printing. However, bioprinting faces severe challenges from the technological, financial and regulatory point of view. It won’t be applied in practice overnight and looking at it from a distance, it’s still pure science fiction. But it’s gonna be a reality to deal with within decades.

My poll on your vaccination willingness is doing great: I'm glad to see that most of you are in favor of taking it! And here’s some great news about Israel sharing a mass amount of data with Pfizer to describe its successful vaccination strategy and serve as a model for others. Also yesterday, BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin gave a keynote at the all-virtual 39th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. Here are some key take-aways: *They pledge to manufacture 2 billion vaccine doses by the end of 2021. *The mRNA platform they use can be easily modified and thus address virus mutations in the span of weeks. *They are working on mRNA-based vaccines for 6(!) other infectious diseases. *The immune response of the vaccine will wane over time therefore we can expect re-vaccinations in the near future. *Their cancer vaccines are advancing into phase 1 in three areas, advanced melanoma, head & neck cancer, and prostate cancer.

I think the top 20 medical specialties can be grouped into 4 groups depending on the major skills those will need in the near future. I used two scales: 1) what an impact technology will have on the profession and 2) what level of patient involvement will play a role in the future of that profession. The 4 groups and the related skills are on the infographics. What do you think?

Good morning. Consistent with the very sharp disconnect between markets and the economy, Dow and S&P futures are essentially unchanged this early morning despite a weekend of violent street protests and China "pausing" some agricultural imports from the US--and this after a solid May (Bloomberg chart below). #markets #stocks #investing #stockmarket #stockmarket #equities #dow #interestrates …see more

The three big (often competing) narratives on China: First, and pushed by China: A quickly recovering economy that also managed to limit the health damage. Second, experienced by many developing counties: China as a generous donor (including via its face mask diplomacy) versus a relatively tough bilateral creditor in debt relief efforts. Third, and pushed hard by the US and some Europeans: China as again failing on its international responsibilities (this time on Important health issues). #economy #markets #China #trade #investment #economics #bonds #stocks #debt …see more

My colleagues Nick Leung , Joe Ngai , Jonathan Woetzel , and Jeongmin Seong 成政珉 just published this analysis of the five trends in China that have been 'fast-forwarded' as a result of the COVID-19 crisis. These are trends that have been well underway for several years now: digitization, declining global exposure of the Chinese economy, rising competitive intensity, consumers 'coming of age', and the rise of the private and social sectors. The crisis has just sped everything up. #China #economy #covid19 #consumers #technology …see more
