Leading Innovation Series with Brett Macfarlane – Vol.1
Leadership through Modernizing Healthcare—From the Inside Out.
Join us for the kickoff of our Leading Innovation Series – a fireside gathering for professionals, innovators, and decision-makers driving real change in their organizations.
The goal is to build shared knowledge in Vancouver's innovation community.
This series is created in collaboration of an innovation researcher and organizational psychologist Brett Macfarlane and Convergence.
This isn’t a lecture. It’s a space for lived experiences, practical leadership insights, and open conversation over light snacks and drinks.
We’ll dig into HOW seasoned professionals approach transformation, navigate resistance, and lead with purpose in complex systems like healthcare.
The first session of the series is held in partnership with Simuhealth, an operations platform for the Continuing Medical Education industry, and focuses on professionals from the healthcare industry.
We welcome innovators and business leaders from all industries, as the core discussion will be the leadership of innovation.
