Many institutions experience “death by 1000 pilots,” where cutting-edge technologies are implemented for a few months in a few departments, but lasting changes in workflow and culture are never realized. MD Anderson’s first Chief Innovation Officer will explore ways to overcome the proverbial “wall of no” and “we’ve tried that before” attitudes that stifle innovation. Attendees will learn how to scope problems appropriately, which stakeholders to engage at each step of the innovation process, and how to differentiate true pilots from long-term solutions.
