Summary
Innovation means a lot of things to different people so I’ll give you my version. Innovation is the way you see, think about, and interact with the world. While most people describe “innovation" as a noun or the output (e.g. iPhone, automobile, Internet), I think of “innovation” as a verb, as in “innovating,” akin to problem solving, building, making, tinkering, seeing, understanding. In my world view, innovation is how we decide to travel, not where we decide to travel to.
To this end, being good at innovation means having a mindset that is properly aligned with a skillset and a toolset. Like a good mechanic, carpenter, or engineer, not committing to a single tool to complete a job, but having the knowledge and skill to deploy a variety of tools for any given situation is the way of becoming the best possible innovator.
I am skilled at: crowd-sourcing, facilitation, Lean Startup, Business Model Generation (business model canvas, value proposition canvas), startup coaching, human-centered design, product design, and business strategy. I have developed two proprietary tools, the Innovation Program Handbook assessment and Innovation IQ, an innovation project assessment, risk manager, health check, and decision-making tool.

The Tech Enabling Patient-Driven Healthcare Systems
With SAP Hybirs Healthcare - https://www.hybris.com/en/solutions/industries/healthcare
How does SAP leverage ERP solutions that specifically address patient-driven healthcare systems (e.g. acute episodic and chronic patients)? The trend is that healthcare systems are shifting from B2B to B2C and consumer-driven, integrated healthcare. The team seeks to address consumer engagement, compliance, and performance evaluation of healthcare professionals. Their vision is a consumer engagement commerce solution for health planning and health providers. They're seeking to validate our approach through real world examples. The prototype will be finished end of March.
