E113: Perry Klebahn – The Practice of Ideaflow
For our penultimate episode of 2022, we interview Perry Klebahn about his soon-to-be-published book Ideaflow: The Only Business Metric that Matters, co-authored with Jeremy Utley. Perry is an Adjunct Professor and Director of Executive Education at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design--the d.school--at Stanford University. Prior to his role at the d.school, Perry was CEO of Timbuk2 and COO of Patagonia. He's also an avid surfer. Perry posits that innovation is not an event, a workshop, a sprint, or a hackathon, but rather the result of mastering ideaflow. Put simply, ideas / time = ideaflow. When applied, ideaflow is an effective approach to problem-solving that reduces effort, minimizes risk, and magnifies results. To illustrate this concept, Perry shares personal stories of when he has (and hasn't) applied ideaflow to gnarly business problems, and how he, Jeremy, and the d.school team promulgate this approach to their students, startups, and large corporations. "Once you fully understand what ideas are, where they come from, and how to separate the winners from the losers, you can finally put that lightning rod down and start making lightning."

How? - Exceptional service design and rapid prototyping of ideas like mobile libraries, makerspaces, coding labs, community media, and more that will impact data literacy, economic mobility, and social determinants of health.

Can you name an institution more welcoming and inclusive than a library? Probably not. In this episode, we learn from Seth Ervin, Chief Innovation Officer at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, about how he applies innovation principles to design the library experience of the future. Libraries are a critical social infrastructure (a phrase elucidated by Professor Eric Klinenberg in his exceptional book Palaces for the People) and Seth and his team believe the library can act as a platform of community change. How? - Exceptional service design and rapid prototyping of ideas like mobile libraries, makerspaces, coding labs, community media, and more that will impact data literacy, economic mobility, and social determinants of health. Seth is also an author!

In a milestone episode, Ben brings our first two guests from outside Atrium Health into the Sherpa studio, Amy Chiou (former Executive Director of Queen City Forward) and David Phillps (founder of innovation consultancy Faster Glass). If you’re someone who’s not satisfied with the status quo, you’ll enjoy hearing about Amy and David’s extensive experience fostering innovation across a community. And no, David did not misremember Bad Idea Jeans! (see the great SNL skit below)

Join the Innovation Engine Sherpas as they provide a behind the scenes tour of the SXSW conference, recently held in Austin, TX.

Will and Sally discuss the insights gained from their first time, while seasoned attendee Lindsay explained how she played a role in hosting and guiding top leaders in the healthcare industry, so they could optimize their SXSW experience. Trust us, if you haven’t been to SXSW then after hearing this episode you’ll be ready to sign up for next year’s conference. Our apologies to Will and listeners for minor audio issue during the first half. There are times we do try to mute him, but not for our podcast!

E14: Proactive Health Part 2 – Creating a New Frontier
Your Innovation Engine Sherpas welcome back Dr. Greg Weidner in a "How We Built This" episode on Proactive Health - primary care, reimagined. He and Ann Somers Hogg discuss how the partnership of Proactive Health and the Innovation Engine emptied the innovation toolbox, moving from theory to application in the development of a new value-based primary care model at Atrium Health.
In an extraordinary turn of events, Ann Somers actually kinda sorta pulls off a sports analogy!
Then Ben sings Pink Floyd. And they all talk about pirate ships. You just don't get that from your typical health care innovation podcast.
With gratitude to Dr. Clay Christensen for his incredible visionary thinking, and to Bob Moesta (@bmoesta) for being our Jobs to be Done sensei, teaching us a new and better way of talking to our customers.
The advice: Go big or go home, disruptive innovations require autonomy.
For those of you who use "the Twitter": @DrWeidner @annsomerswh #InnovationEngine
