5 Truths About the Changing Health Landscape https://lnkd.in/gYCi8RsX Here’s what we’re reflecting on from our time at HLTH USA: ??We need adaptable frameworks that leverage shared data for better patient care and system efficiency. ??AI should enhance #healthcare workers' expertise, not replace them.? ??With tight budgets, healthcare is focusing on outcome-driven, practical innovation. #HumanCenteredDesign and co-creation help reduce risk and drive real impact. ??Hospitals are becoming more innovative, driving healthcare transformation. ??The urgency to solve #health challenges is clear: we must innovate now to make good health a reality today, not just a hope for tomorrow. Thanks to Matthew Higham, Hannah Rosenfeld, and Yicheng Sun for sharing their perspectives.

Thank you to our very own Savannah Kunovsky, Managing Director of our #EmergingTechnology Lab, for driving IDEO forward this year!

The Six Areas That Are Ripe for Disruption: https://lnkd.in/gAR-SVqC? Constraints and difficult conditions can be an incredible impetus for innovation. The organizations that take advantage of these opportunities will be at the forefront of enormous value creation.

Responsible #design (aka inclusive design, ethical design, or even respectful design) has been a focus for decades. At IDEO, it’s been a movement most recently organized by the Inclusive Design Collective (IDC), a fast-growing crew that meets regularly to discuss design, interrogate our processes, and consider the potential consequences of our work, socially and environmentally. We believe that: ??Inclusive design is at the heart of global scaling ??Gen Z won’t mess with anything that’s not inclusive ??In many sectors, responsible design won’t be a choice—it will be an obligation ??Consumer preferences are changing, and businesses that only care about shareholder growth may be penalized ??Responsible design creates better products Discover more about our approach from our team at https://lnkd.in/gtjE4jXy

It's Time to Think in Radically New Ways: https://lnkd.in/gRBJdmgF Small changes are not the basis of a winning strategy. By framing the right questions, we can shift the constraints to create better systems, experiences, and solutions that address real human needs.

Cities are uniquely positioned to solve the complex problems that their residents face on a daily basis yet need resources to explore and develop transformative solutions.? ? That’s why we encourage cities to apply for Bloomberg Philanthropies' new Mayors Challenge. The innovation competition calls on municipalities from anywhere in the world to work with residents and entrepreneurs to radically reimagine the most essential services they provide for residents—from affordable housing to public libraries to waste management. The 25 cities with the most inventive ideas will each be awarded $1 million and operational assistance to bring their proposals to life. ? Cities with over 100,000 residents can apply by December 20, 2024. Learn more and get started today: https://lnkd.in/e4G-eXQ

We're excited to see our very own Nazlican Goksu represent IDEO at the kyu house at #NYCW2024, representing our human-centered approach to innovation, and the importance of asking the best questions.

?? Every company needs a “Futurist-in-Residence” https://lnkd.in/giDJGvFt As businesses face a world increasingly defined by rapid change and uncertainty, the role has become a strategic imperative. Futurists aren’t crystal ball gazers—they're pattern hunters, signal spotters, and storytellers who bring clarity to complex, evolving environments. Jennifer Lo, Senior Director at IDEO, describes her practice as:? ??Hunting for signals to uncover future opportunities. ??Mapping drivers of change–from climate change to AI—to ensure strategies are grounded in reality and flexibility. ??Considering alternate futures to design resilient strategies, preparing them for both opportunity and disruption. ??Preparing for disruption so that companies can stay ahead of the curve and seize growth opportunities early. ??Creating stories and artifacts from the future to help teams visualize and act on long-term goals today. #Futurist #OrganizationalDesign #StrategicThinking #FutureOfWork #EmergingTrends
