Stimulate your long term thinking with a tailored re-run of the Beyond the Fog webinar for your team

When we ran the first series of Beyond the Fog webinars in the summer, we were overwhelmed by the positive response and level of engagement during and after the session with many of the hundreds of attendees from across the healthcare ecosystem telling us that they found the long-term, system-level framework inspiring.

As your organisation prepares for the festive season and for the next year, why not add an extra dimension to your planning with a tailored introduction to Beyond the Fog with the report’s co-authors as a spark for your deliberations?

Or simply use it as a thought-provoking opportunity for your team to look up from the difficulties of the short term and see the enormous potential opportunities that will arise from the coming revolution in health and care.

In a 60–90 minute tailored session, you’ll get a run through the long-term mega-trends that are transforming healthcare and a system-level understanding of what healthcare might look like if the capabilities implied by the trends are delivered at scale. And an opportunity to reflect on what it all means for you.

There are lots of good reasons for doing this; based on our conversations across the sector, the top three are:

• Framing strategy decisions with a longer-term horizon. We all face immense short-term pressures in the coming year. Even more than usual, these pressures will dominate thinking in most parts of the healthcare ecosystem. This makes it even more important consciously to bring the longer term into the discussions so that, as far as possible, short term decisions do not cut off possibilities for the longer term
• A stimulus for systemic thinking. Beyond the Fog is a unique system-level framework for thinking about the future of healthcare. It is very quick way for you and your colleagues to build a view of your organisation’s role in a rapidly changing landscape.

And perhaps most importantly:

• Bringing a positive, exploratory mindset. Beyond the Fog provides an art-of-the-possible vision of a sustainable healthcare system fit for the challenges of the 21st Century. Amid the short-term difficulties, this is a great reminder that we are in the early stages of a new era of healthcare and the most exciting time ever to be involved in the sector. Just what your people need at this time of year.

In our post-webinar survey, more than 80% of respondents rated the session 8/10 or more:

And more than three quarters said that the webinar made them feel more positive, ambitious or optimistic about the future:
