Innovation is important in any industry: to stay competitive, organizations need to make meaningful change to products, services, and/or business models to create new value for customers.  Sometimes innovation involves continuous, small changes and sometimes it is more breakthrough — involving completely new products or new applications altogether.
 

The Performance Excellence Network is pleased to welcome  Mat Johnson, founder/CEO of GeaCom, to our Oct 17 TPPEN breakfast featuring a discussion in GeaCom’s approach to innovation.

GeaCom, Inc. is the designer, manufacturer and marketer of the world’s most awarded medical device, Phrazer.  Phrazer is broadly known for its ability to personalize to any patient’s gender, race, language, literacy and culture to provide attention-arresting experiences and meaningful medical engagements.  It truly is transforming the healthcare sector — an example of how innovation can disrupt an industry.

Mat will share how Phraser was created, innovation challenges/successes experienced in creating Phrazer, and the general steps GeaCom uses to innovate.  Attendees will also get a chance to experience and play with Phrazer at the meeting!

The discussion will be hosted by GeaCom (details after registration).   Continental breakfast will be served from 7:00 to 7:30 with the discussion from 7:30 to 8:30 am. No cost for members; $20 for non-members.
