Healthcare Trends & Transformation: What Medical Professionals Must Do in an Era of Constant Change

What happens in a world in which the patient has been information empowered? Where medical devices are routinely connected into a smart-grid that allows for a healthcare system in which wired caregivers and connected doctors play an increasing role? When the pace of growth of medical knowledge exceeds the capability of the average medical professional to keep up? Carroll addresses these issues, and many others, in a customized presentation designed to help healthcare executives, administrators and professionals understand how our entire concept of medicine and healthcare delivery is changing as a result of the flood of significant new trends and developments.

What Comes Next? (...and What Should You Do About It?)

A company needs to understand how it can adequately plan for the unique challenges that are set to emerge as the pace of innovation and change continues to speed up. This riveting keynote presentation on the future will leave you motivated, challenged, curious - and driven to deal with change! The future continues to rush towards us at a breath-taking pace. Carroll can provide you with the critical insight you need to ensure that you can control your future, rather than have it control you!

How to Become a Forward Thinking Organization

In an era in which the only certainty is uncertainty, it is critical that organizations learn to anticipate and control the future before it controls them. They must learn to understand how future trends will affect them – whether it be with their markets, customers, the competition, business models, corporate structure, or product and service innovation. Carroll believes that far too many organizations have let their staff drift into a culture of complacency. They’ve allowed an attitude of “we’ve always done it that way” to creep into place – and that phrase has become the foundation upon which they strategize and prepare for the future. Now wonder they struggle to survive, and fail to spot countless new opportunities! In this highly customized presentation, Carroll helps organizations learn how to become more forward thinking in their views. He wakes them up, shakes them up, and helps them become attuned to the challenges and opportunities of the future, rather than mired in the mundane issues of today and the problems of the past.

Thriving on Change! How to Create an Innovation Culture

With the collapse of the hey-day 90's, too many organizations have lost their courage to move forward. Yet every organization continues to be threatened by a multiple number of factors: empowered consumers, global competition, price commoditization, the impact of technology and global connectivity, and a focus on quality. It's time to provide some "innovation oxygen" to your organization in order to keep going forward with the future, instead of concentrating on the past.

Coping with Ketchup: How to Adapt to a World of Constant Change

In case you haven't noticed, Heinz has turned their ketchup bottle upside down, and it's causing havoc in homes around the world. Using this phenomenon as a metaphor, Carroll explains his perspective that adults in the workforce are of a generation that is uniquely incapable of coping with change. They've been through a tumultuous time in the workplace, one that has involved fare more change than ever before. And the simple fact is that they aren't conditioned to cope with change in the same way that young people are. The result is that they react by rebelling against change, or simply, don't change. That's the focus of this fast-paced, hilarious, fun and challenging presentation that helps people understand their barriers to change, and learn how to break through those barriers.

Keep the Faith: Motivating Staff in a Time of Challenge and Change

There is no doubt that these are challenging and perilous times. A constant stream of negativity, fear, and concern envelopes the workplace, as the result of an extended period of uncertainty. People are worried about their jobs, their careers, and their lives. They head to work each and every day, wondering what is going to happen next. The impact can be dramatic. When people are faced with rapid, unexplained, relentless, and ongoing negativity, they need a motivational message to set them going again. That’s where Jim Carroll comes in! Carroll motivates people by helping them understand that the future is still very much in front of us. He clearly articulates the challenges faced by an organization, but then puts into perspective how the future is going to unfold. By doing so, he defines for people the opportunities and challenges that they face – and encourages them to grab onto the future, rather than focusing on the difficulties of the past. It is a unique approach to the issue of motivation. As a “motivational futurist for the digital age,” Carroll is renowned for the impact that his presentation has on people.

Testimonials

”Thank you so much for being a part of our 2005 VHA Georgia Leadership Expo and kicking off our event. You were excellent! We could not have asked for a more appropriate opening. You were able to describe the challenges of the health care industry as it related to our audience and our business of supply chain and networking. Your presentation was advanced enough to hold the attention of the executives and your anecdotes used to illustrate your points were entertaining but basic enough for even non-healthcare attendees to follow.”
