SUMMARY:Leading Digital Transformation in Health Care
DESCRIPTION:“Leading Digital Transformation in Health Care” is a two-day Harvard Medical School executive education program led by John D. Halamka and designed to provide you with the knowledge\, tools and strategies to design and implement technology-enabled change initiatives in health care. A certificate of completion will be offered for this program. \nDigital health technologies can make it more convenient for a patient to make an appointment. They can make it easier for doctors to access the right information at the right time. They can make it more efficient for a health system to manage their population and deliver high-value\, high-quality care at a reasonable cost—or to continually improve care through knowledge generation in the model of a learning health system. Excitement and investment in these technologies is rapidly increasing. At the same time\, the adoption and value proposition of technology for health care remains complex and multifaceted. Which innovations will provide more cost-effective\, patient-centered\, quality care? How do you differentiate value-producing technologies from hype? As a leader\, what are the critical steps in managing the change process? How do you leverage digital strategies throughout your organization to benefit all aspects of health care? Insights into these questions are critical not just for health systems\, but also business leaders developing industry solutions for health care. “Leading Digital Transformation in Health Care” is a two-day Harvard Medical School executive education program led by John D. Halamka and designed to provide you with the knowledge\, tools and strategies to design and implement technology-enabled change initiatives in health care. A certificate of completion will be offered for this program.

SUMMARY:Maximize Your Seat at the Table
DESCRIPTION:A wise woman once said\, “What difference does it make if you have a seat at the table if you don’t effectively use it?” The literal and proverbial “seat at the table” represents your ability to have a voice in your organization and successfully influence others. \nSome people struggle to get to the table. Others experience challenges maximizing their seat when they get there. To expand your influence\, make a bigger impact and more effectively achieve your professional goals\, you need to make your voice heard. As women\, however\, many of us struggle to find our voices in the workplace. \nWith increased confidence\, communication skills and political savvy\, you can maximize your seat at the table. \nIn this live webinar session with executive coach\, Kim Meninger\, we will: \nExamine key internal and external challenges facing women as they strive to make their voices heard.\nExplore how to maximize your influence before\, during and after presenting your ideas.\nDiscuss actionable strategies to boost your confidence and improve your leadership presence as you engage with others.\nThis webinar is free for everyone interested\, register today!

SUMMARY:World Pharma Week
DESCRIPTION:World Pharma Week consists of two Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s well established and extremely successful events\, World Preclinical Congress and Biomarker World Congress\, that joined forces. \nToday pharma innovation is advancing at an incredible pace\, with opportunities to address diseases once considered intractable using advanced technologies. At Second Annual World Pharma Week we will bring together\, technical leaders\, scientists\, and executives\, visionaries\, and biotech entrepreneurs to drive measurable innovation in biopharma R&D. Disruptive technologies\, novel therapeutic modalities and platforms\, data-driven approaches\, as well as strategies to cut costs and increase productivity of drug R&D will be featured at 12 themed conferences\, 3 keynote sessions\, and numerous networking events. Taking place in the Boston/Cambridge biopharma hub\, a global powerhouse of drug discovery and development\, provides unique networking opportunities both in the Exhibit Hall and in the session rooms with a core biopharma audience. World Pharma Week is enhanced by the legacy of two Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s well established and extremely successful events\, World Preclinical Congress and Biomarker World Congress\, that joined forces under its umbrella.

SUMMARY:Accelerating Biotech and Pharmaceutical R&D through Genomics
DESCRIPTION:There has been increasing interest and investment in applying genomics and related technologies to drug discovery and development. However\, with the exception of a small number of well-recognized successes\, much uncertainty remains about how to best leverage these tools throughout the pharmaceutical value chain. \nThere has been increasing interest and investment in applying genomics and related technologies to drug discovery and development. However\, with the exception of a small number of well-recognized successes\, much uncertainty remains about how to best leverage these tools throughout the pharmaceutical value chain. Led by renowned leaders from industry and academia\, this executive education program provides a unique opportunity to delve into the use of genomics in common and rare diseases\, and throughout the drug discovery\, development\, regulatory and post-regulatory phases. Pre-work\, case-based teaching and group work will ground insights in real-world applications.

SUMMARY:Built with Biology - The Bioeconomy Summit
DESCRIPTION:As biology ravages the global economy\, we have a once-in-a-lifetime\, trillion-dollar opportunity to help shape how biology will also rebuild it. We can redefine the economy\, supply chains\, and manufacturing at local\, state\, national\, and global levels\, and bring back the millions of jobs that have been lost due to COVID-19. \nWe want you to be a part of the #BuiltWithBiology story. With California as a working model\, we are developing specific policy recommendations to reinvigorate the global bioeconomy in a more sustainable\, prosperous\, and equitable way for all. Let’s rethink normal\, set a bright new standard\, and show how we can do things differently.

SUMMARY:From Brainstorm to Boardroom: When Is the Right Time for a Faculty to form a Startup?
