Great opportunity to participate in one of the most successful Innovation Challenges series. Innovation challenges facilitated by the Innovation World Cup help established companies access new technologies faster, more in-depth, and cheaper.

They foster collaboration, providing deeper insights and reducing R&D costs through cost-sharing models. Additional benefits include diverse perspectives, enhanced reputation, and risk mitigation. Overall, this Innovation World Cup challenge creates a strategic, win-win scenario that drives innovation and growth by leveraging the strengths of both large corporations and smaller tech companies.

I'm very passionate about quality and timely healthcare provision. Perhaps it is because all of us will need access to healthcare at some point in our lives, and as patients, what is most important in our care is firstly getting the quality of care we need and when we need it. Therefore, it is reassuring to see from the Philips Future Health Index 2024 that healthcare leaders in APAC are taking bold and thoughtful changes to deliver better care for more people. The report highlights key strategies such as improving operational efficiencies through workflow prioritization, data integration, and AI-enabled innovation to improve patient care. An interesting finding is APAC healthcare leaders’ growing interest in adopting generative AI, a trend that could significantly shape the future of healthcare. Whether you are in the healthcare industry or not, the report is an interesting read and may have different takeaways. For healthcare professionals, it offers insights on how to improve patient care. For organizational leaders, it provides strategies for enhancing operational efficiencies. And for all, it offers a glimpse into how we can expect the future of healthcare to unfold. I would love to connect if you would like to discuss more, you can read the full report findings here. https://lnkd.in/gJ9Q9Kfp #Philips #Healthcare #FutureHealth

There’s nothing artificial about this intelligence! Just back from The Pharmacy Show, and like many exhibitors, I'm still waiting for my feet to stop throbbing and return to normal size! But the energy and value from the event certainly made it all worthwhile. In my view, this year’s show was the best yet. It showcased remarkable advancements in med tech, medical services, and, of course, the pharmacy business. But beyond the cutting-edge solutions, what really stood out to me was something more fundamental: the often-overlooked value of in-person events like this. In a world that’s increasingly virtual, hybrid, and remote, it’s easy for us marketeers to focus on measurable, direct-response channels. However, nothing compares to the impact of face-to-face interactions. Connecting with trade partners, industry leaders, even competitors, is one thing. But the insights gained over a simple coffee and a chat with customers are irreplaceable. It’s this real-world exchange that fosters a deeper understanding—insights that no survey or remote strategy can truly capture. As we plan future investments, it’s crucial to remember the unique value of these in-person moments. They are opportunities that no amount of remote communication can replicate. Just wishing I had gone back to visit the foot health stand!

"One Final Comment." Several weeks ago, Philips hosted a one-of-a-kind, "Connect 2024," where they brought in teams from 80+ countries from the Growth Region for a 4-day interactive and learning session with one common goal (as per my experience): "ELEVATE." Each of us took it upon ourselves to understand the core competency of the products and solutions, distinctive value proposition, business positioning, and strategy drivers. 400+ people 4-days 40+ sessions Four networking nights 4 hours of sleep Result: A strong resilience towards the commitment of #empathywithcare towards patients, providers, partners, and people. Towards the final hour, Bas van Breugel asked to share our feedback from the week-long get-together, and out of nowhere, standing right in the far-far back, I raised my hand to share one final comment. Even though I had completely lost my voice, I did hours-long discussions with the team, product managers, and others earlier in the day. Vitor Hugo Cid was kind enough to pass on the mic. And those were my final words before the conclusion of the best event of my life! Can you guess what I would have said? Comment below. P.S. Stay tuned for part II.

A very interesting write-up on possibly a dull topic -- audience-centered seating -- for many in the business events industry. But if you care about #customer #experience, you will have a lot of aha moments once you go through it. We talk a lot about how customers are getting more demanding and are constantly looking for ways to stretch their dollar at events. Most often, #organizers resort to value-added services to address their concerns. It could range from free delegate passes and complimentary parking at venues, to discounts, sponsored-collaterals in the swag bag, and assured lead generation at events. Sometimes, it works, and other times, it doesn't. We don't have tools to measure the success of our value-add services, and don't get bothered as long as we have repeat client(s). Rarely do we get into the nitty-gritties of customer experience, like discussing the seating room arrangements to enhance immersion at events or visitor-friendly floor plans to augment experience. But these things matter. They are at the center of customer experience. It's qualitative and reflects on the surveys and NPS scores of events, if there is one. When we talk about customer experience, digital technology hogs all the limelight. Sometimes, just focusing on the right seating arrangement might do the trick. #meetinIndia #eventprofs #tradefairs #conferences #AI PS: Hat tip to Liz Lathan, CMP for sharing and bringing this to attention. https://lnkd.in/dtPNPhHN

This week, our team had the fantastic opportunity to join industry leaders, innovative thinkers, and healthcare pioneers at the Digital Health Festival in Melbourne. The two day event was a deep dive into the future of healthcare technology, filled with enlightening discussions, cutting-edge demonstrations, and invaluable networking. 🤝 What are the takeaways for the diagnostic sector? - AI is here to stay: AI has proven indispensable across the health sector by enhancing efficiency, enabling personalised experiences, and driving innovation, demonstrating that artificial intelligence is here to stay as a fundamental component of modern technology solutions 🤖 - Interoperability is key: digital solutions cannot operate in silos. As healthcare systems become more integrated, ensuring seamless communication between disparate health technologies remains a significant hurdle 🏥 - Labs needs a digital first approach: as we face workforce challenges, adopting a 'digital-first' approach becomes crucial, enabling us to leverage technology to streamline operations, improve accessibility, and ensure that knowledge and expertise are preserved and enhanced through digital tools 🧑💻 We're excited to harness the insights and ideas gathered here to enhance our offerings and better serve our diagnostic community. The future of digital health is bright, and we are committed to being at the forefront of this transformation. 💡 Oh, and thanks for putting on some stunning weather #Melbourne #digitalhealth #conferencing #labofthefuture

Next week, I will be in Berlin to attend the UX360Summit together with my colleague Julie Hendriks from Norstat Netherlands. 🏢 The list of speakers and companies is impressive. I compared it with our CRM and saw that we have been working with 25% of the companies. 🙌 My bragging list includes Zalando, idealo internet GmbH, eBay Deutschland, SumUp, trivago, Deutsche Telekom, Chefkoch GmbH.... 🎣 On the contrary, there are 75% of customers which haven't worked with us. Some companies on my wishlist are Skyscanner, MediaMarktSaturn, ZDF, Duolingo, Bentley Systems, Lyst... 💬 I bet I won't be bored networking in Berlin! 🤗 Few closing questions: 1. Are you going to be there or do you know anyone I should meet? 2. How do you prepare a conference? Any insider tips? 3. What insider tip do you have for Berlin? Thanks for your support! 🙏
