Topic Two: From fashion to medicine, from the tech we use to the food we eat, it turns out change spreads in a pretty predictable way described by the Diffusion of Innovation. Working with the curve instead of against it can help us make changes within our organizations and communities more quickly and with less pain for all concerned. Dr. @Kate Hurley will talk about how to put the Diffusion Curve to work for you.
The needs outstrip the resources available to provide care for everyone who needs it.
