About the Network
Welcome to our network for disruptive thinkers!
This event is our first annual conference in Deliberate Disruption with the aim to expand the horizons of microsystem thinking to catalyze transformative change in healthcare.
Our aim with the Global Network for Disruptive Thinkers is to help create a good life for everyone, both now and in the future. Traditional, incremental, adjustments to current healthcare models may no longer meet the rapidly evolving needs of our patients and communities, and the increasing complexity and uncertainty we face. In the network, we do not shy away from the hard problems, the ‘wicked problems’ we face.
This year this conference is by invitation only in order to secure the variety of different backgrounds and skills.
We are practitioners, leaders, theorists, authors, researchers, entrepreneurs, innovators and that above all, are convinced that the main source for change is within our own minds.
We value forward-thinking, inventive problem-solving, and transformative initiatives. We believe in the importance of adaptive organizational change that is inclusive of diverse stakeholders from various sectors of society. We use cocreation of change to ensure it is valued and sustainable. Expanding the horizon of the microsystems approach and embracing disruptive thinking can lead to exciting opportunities for innovation and improvement.
There are so many ways we can work together – including new ways we have never even thought of before.
3 days of deliberate disruption – what can you expect?
Starting by challenging your thinking. The nature of “disruptive” is that it “upsets current systems, upends existing paradigms and radically shifts the dynamics and accepted processes in systems” (Shaw and Chisholm 2020).
Hear from and engage with thought leaders and visionaries who have dared to push the boundaries of innovation through “deliberate disruption”.
