How do you know that your closing speaker is a good one? People are still asking questions at 5:30, after a day of sitting and listening.
Naomi Fried closed out a day of discussion among investors, entrepreneurs, doctors and researchers about disruption, convergence and many forces increasing the rate of change in healthcare.
She has spoken at many conferences about the O-Gap, the SPARC program at the hospital, and how to get people to embrace new ideas. You can benefit from her wisdom for free, thanks to this video from CONVERGE.
If you don’t have time to watch the entire speech (although it is worth every minute), here are a few highlights you can skip to:
- 15:00 Can you have too much innovation?
- 19:18 How do you accelerate innovation?
- 20:00 Mobile apps built by the hospital.
- 21:47 How to create an environment that supports people with good ideas.
- 29:15 Questions about programs at Boston Children’s.
- 32:53 Four Rs of building an innovation culture.
If that’s not enough, you can learn more about the hospital’s seed investment program in these two video interviews.

I am the editor in chief at MedCityNews.com. I started writing and editing in the print world and joined a dotcom right before the 2000 crash. I was at TechRepublic/CNET/BNET for 7 years. Health was more interesting to me than the latest version of Windows, so I left for a startup tracking prescription drug news. A year later, MedTrackAlert was acquired by HealthCentral, so I shifted to audience research. The fun of daily news and interviewing smart people brought me to MedCity News in February 2012.More posts by Author
