In this day of excitement, we love change. Because it's easy to change. Whether jobs or phones or clothes. We want a constant stimulus. This and that. Here and there.
But what if we really did nothing more? And we stayed bored.
What holds up career growth
We have these notions of careers. Of course, most of them are acquired. A couple of decades ago, an entire generation wanted to be Jack Welch. Then a decade back, we wanted to be Steve Jobs. And now we slurp Elon Musk.
Pause before the year ends...for yourself and your team
In that period between end-and-beginning, there's a chance to shift gears. To progress in the direction that we want to. Individually and organizationally.
#AI for healthcare? Great but let's get these things right
Whether you are IBM Watson or some other AI system, you seek to find answers to questions. That humans can't answer quickly or analytically.
When we ask cognitive (thinking) questions, there's a big underlying assumption. That the data we feed into the AI system is reliable. But is it?
Yes, healthcare is spiraling out of balance. But can we counter that?
I don't know if you see this but healthcare is spiraling out of balance. Perhaps into self-destruction.
Our industry is a mess. And it's costing us dearly.
How? You ask.
Big meeting coming up? Here are 5 things to reflect on
That meeting is finally happening.
You are all over your prospect's LinkedIn page. You Google everything there is. And you prepare what you're going to say. You list out resistances. And think of counter arguments.
And yet...when the meeting finally happens, nothing happens.
Before you build that healthcare app. Draw a mango tree
In a recent health-tech class for doctors, we did an experiment. We made them into app designers. In about 30 minutes.
I'll tell you how.
Welcome to the age of collective soul-searching
Don't you sense a shift in people's expectations from their careers (and life)? Consider these observations that seem to be happening with greater frequency.
Product development without drama (but first the mistakes)
It was exciting to see Dr. G at work. Patient after patient. Using our baby to go about his day. Yes, we had made life easy through our product. Innovated where it mattered.
AI replacing doctors. What do doctors think about that?
Last week, I was teaching health IT to clinicians in Mthatha, South Africa. Interventional cardiologists. Pulmonologists. Psychiatrists. Family physicians. Surgeons. Orthopedic doctors. More.
Loss of intuition in healthcare
There's a question that'll help patients find their own answers. It'll also help doctors understand them more spatially (meaning, getting a more complete picture).
Let's not be weird. Just because we are so professional
This is the thing of our times.To create distinct spaces out of our lives. One for our professional selves. The other for personal. And many more in between. Suppressing our real-selves so much that we become confused about who we really are.
The husk that blocks you from becoming who you really are
The disease of fear wraps the world in a vicious cycle. Making us weaker than we actually are. Making us behave in ways that are incongruent to our values. Never allowing us to be fully true or pure. Limiting us from exploring our full potential.
Building something? Careful down that rabbit hole
Digging a well in many places never yields water. You’ll only end up with a hole here and a hole there. Never going deep enough.
