happy to be part of community.
let’s give Lee round of applause. tremendous amount of time.
Lee also has an edge. for anyone who grabs m&ms at the break or a soda at lunch, you will be tazzered.
Nice to see so many different players here. Great conversations. It was nice to see Samsung. Between Apple, Google, and Samsung. I learned leads the pack in their interesting is digital wellness. Samsung is is literally exploding in this space.
my topic is …
spike in consumers practicing mindfulness
spike in business interest: includes 22% of fortune 500. will double in 2017.
across the board self-insured companies: including Target, GE, Fidelity, MSFT, P&G, J&J, IBM, NIKE
I got into mindfulness out of stress, crisis and desperation.
there’s been so much incredible coverage on wearable and biometrics, I’m going to mix it up a bit before jumping into data.
mindfulness. underlying systems of stress. and light on data as the case has been made.
loved Lee’s Lego analogy. Each of us has pieces to build something special in this space.
Lego artist, Nathan Sawaya. powerful, forward looking. superman like.
(hands) get a sense of who’s in the room.
research. wearables. apps. Insurance, pharma, LARGE employers (okay, startups you know where they are now).
tremendous ecosystem with a common goal
one of the other things that has become clear is we all try to do too much.
At whil, we believe collaboration will win the day.
we create programs with best in class partners
we find best in class partners to create programs.
we focus on technology, marketing and sales of running a SaaS business.
in 2017, four research partners will be running their clinical trials using our tech platform.
We just completed partnerships with Virgin Pulse and Jiff. by eoy, our stress resiliency products will be in all of the top corporate wellness platforms.
we know we can’t do that on our own. mental wellbeing is one piece of the puzzle.
first, by show of hands:
(Hands) mindfulness. we don’t think people want to meditate.
Suffer from back pain
insomnia
stress
annoying co-workers
Mindfulness hot topic these days.
On the cover of every major magazine
Last 3 winners
corporations embracing it to help employees reduce stress and improve performance
consumers embracing because life is pretty Frickin’ hard these day.

IT’S ABOUT THE OTHER 24 HOURS
It’s important not only for stress and resiliency.
We’re outsourcing so much of our cognitive abilities.
Directions, phone numbers, birthdays
Groceries, driving, where to eat
we are outsourcing major parts of our brain function
A new study this year estimates we now have the avg attention span of a gold fish. 8-12 seconds

shows up for companies as...
but shows up for individuals as...
growing undercurrent of stress
people think about
global warming (tourism, farming, water supply)
Terrorism (moving from our borders and airports to cities and hotels and events). $60bn cost this year.
US politics (no comment)
no matter who you voted for, or what country you’re from. I'm sorry. meet me in the hallway for a hug.
LEAVES A LOT OF PEOPLE FEELING LIKE A DIFFERENT LEGO SET
but the bigger issue is the pace of modern living and what business expects from the individual.
but we have systems in business that are built to make it worse
World Economic Forum - TECH WILL replace 5 Million jobs next 5 years.
ROBOTICS: JAPANESE HOTELS REPLACING THEIR FRONT DESK STAFF WITH ROBOTS (WOMAN, T-RESK, HELLO KITTY)
SELF DRIVING CAR REPLACING YOUR UBER DRIVERS. SELF DRIVING TRUCKS WILL REPLACE YOUR UPS DRIVER.
ROBOTS WILL BE ASKING YOU, DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT.
DRONES WILL GO FROM DELIVERING YOUR PACKAGE TO DELIVERING YOUR PERSON.
5 YEARS AGO, THIS WAS GEORGE JETSON KINDA STUFF. NOW IT’S REAL. AND IT’S CHANGING THE CONVERSATION.
GLOBALIZATION: EVERY BUSINESS IN A RACE FOR SCALE
WE EXPECT EMPLOYEES TO LIVE OUR TAGLINES
ALWAYS ON, 24/7, BUSINESS AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, anyway you like it
we used to joke that taglines were killing our employees.
ESPIONAGE: Justice Department. 2 Million jobs LOST AND HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS IN TECH to China.
As a government, they’ve turned espionage into a business. steal your technology, designs, products, and sell them back to you.
OUTSOURCED INNOVATION: OVER 7M PEOPLE WORKING IN TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH. NOT THE GENIUS BAR AT YOUR APPLE STORE. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH. THE RATE OF INNOVATION OUTSTRIPS OUR ABILITY TO MAKE SENSE OF IT.
BUT THE MUCH BIGGER DISRUPTION IS COMING FROM INTERNAL DISRUPTION
(HANDS)OFFSHORING, NEARSHORING, BACKSHORING. 90% of firms cite outsourcing as crucial to their growth strategies.
A Java programmer earns $60,000 a year in the U.S., but $5,000 a year in India.
In 2014, 60% of the GLOBAL IT sector had been outsourced. (43% in 2013).
WE TELL EMPLOYEES, YOUR VALUED. BUT THE COMPETING MESSAGE IS ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS.
(HANDS) coopetition
HOW MANY PEOPLE’S COMPANIES HAVE RELATIONSHIPS THEY DESCRIBE AS COOPETITION?
WE TELL OUR PARTNERS, WE NEED YOU. UNTIL WE DON’T. CAUSE I WANT TO BRING IT ALL IN-HOUSE.
DO YOUR employees IN COMPETITION WITH EACH OTHER? ASK A MILLENNIAL.
PROCUREMENT AMAZING FORCE IN BUSINESS
WHEN A VENDOR HAS BEEN CUT 10%-20% A YEAR, YOU GO FROM TRUSTED PARTNERS TO CHEAP SUPPLIERS. AND THEY ACT DIFFERENTLY.
WE’VE TRAINED EMPLOYEES TO JUST DEAL WITH IT.
ALL OF THIS IS COMPOUNDED BY Turnover.
(SHOUT OUT) GUESS THE AVERAGE TURNOVER RATE IN THE U.S.? 46%
ALL OF THESE CREATE STRESS
CULTURE IS CONSISTENT, OBSERVABLE PATTERNS OF BEHAVIOR.
CULTURE: SUCK IT UP
WE TALKED ABOUT A VUCA WORLD. VOLATILE, UNCERTAIN, COMPLEX, AMBIGUOUS.
THESE THINGS ARE UNCERTAIN THEY ARE CERTAIN. IT’S NOT A VUCA WORLD, IT’S A VCCA WORLD. AND I SPEND 20 YEARS CRAWLING THROUGH THE CACA.

Mak Notes:
Stats on offshoring/outsourcing:
Two estimates of the impact of offshoring on U.S. jobs were between 150,000 and 300,000 per year from 2004-2015. This represents 10-15% of U.S. job creation. (The Economist, 2013)
BusinessWeek's rough estimate shows offshoring may have created about $66 billion in ‘phantom GDP’ gains since 2003. That would lower real GDP today by about half of 1%, which is substantial but not huge. But put another way, $66 billion would wipe out as much as 40% of the gains in manufacturing output over the same period. (Bloomberg, 2007)
Phantom GDP = reported gains in GDP that don't correspond to any actual domestic production
*Couldn’t find turnover stats on procurement professionals turnover.
For every 1,000 jobs British Airways sends to India, the airline saves $23 million. (The Outsourcing Revolution Why It Makes Sense and How to Do It Right by Michael F. Corbett, 2004)
Procurement stats:
A significant gap exists between the financial manager’s estimate of project savings getting booked, 34%, and the 75% to 80% estimated by sourcing managers. (Aberdeen Group, 2005) - Meaning you think you’re saving more than you might actually be. Discrepancies.
Among retail buyers where turnover can be as high as 30%. (DeConinck & Bachmann, 2005)
Inefficient procurement processes cost North American companies up to $1.5 billion annually - wasting 32.3 million man hours per year. (Topline Strategy Group, 2014)
AND IT GETS MORE COMPLICATED.
FOUR GENERATIONS. GUESS WHAT. THEY HATE EACH OTHER
THESE PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS OF WORKING, DIFFERENT LANGUAGE, DIFFERENT CAREER GOALS.
ON ONE END YOU HAVE THE MILLENNIALS SAYING
AND ON THE OTHER END, “WALKING RETIRED”
BY THE WAY, THE THE SILENT GENERATION WAS NAMED THAT BECAUSE IF YOU COMPLAINED BACK IN THE DAY, SOME WOULD SAY SHUT UP.
WITHIN YOUR OWN FAMILY, YOU CAN’T GET 4 GENERATIONS TOGETHER FOR DINNER WITHOUT ALL HELL BREAKING LOOSE.
BUT WITH ORGANIZATIONS, WE EXPECT PEOPLE TO JUST FIGURE IT OUT.
HOLMES AND RAHE STRESS SCALE.

INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES ARE THE BIGGEST SOURCE OF DISRUPTION.
AND THEY BRING IT INTO THE OFFICE EVERY DAY.

Culture is consistent, observable patterns of behavior in organizations”
the leading cause of every major disease
Extreme stress increased 33% in two years. This is defined a level where it’s harmful and costly to people’s health and wellbeing. Moving from struggling to suffering.
IF THAT TREND CONTINUES, WE’LL BE APPROACHING ½ OF ALL EMPLOYEES MOVING FROM MERELY STRUGGLING TO SUFFERING.
Now you might think it’s driven by terrorism, politics, race relations, the economy, Justin bibber throwing eggs at people’s houses. That’s certainly part of it.
But according to our customers, the bigger part is the pace of business. The demands of productivity, offshoring, procurement, doing more with less, and globalization are burning people out. Now these are all table stakes. They aren’t going away.

DON'T’ FEEL GOOD.
CAN'T’ FOCUS.
NOT MUCH FUN TO BE AROUND.
Stress inoculation to form a “mental armor”
Gradually expose people to stressful situations so they develop calmer reactions
Dr. Liz Stanley is a security studies expert from Georgetown University uses this to help soldiers prepare for high-stress missions1
(EXCERCISE): I’M BUMMING YOU OUT. CLOSE YOUR EYES. TWO MINDFUL BREATHS. PICK ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE YOUR AVERAGE DAY.
HERE’S A VIDEO WITH THE WORD THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE EXPEIRENCING.
OUR PRODUCTS ARE SO NEEDED RIGHT NOW.
These slides are from Liz Stanley’s TED talk - she talks about the importance of FULL recovery from stressful situations. If you DON’T recover fully, then your resilience goes down. But if you do recover, then your resistance for stress grows.
the past few days went deep on IOT for health.
we’re all moving in the direction of being able to assess, prescribe solutions and measure the outcomes.
mindfulness is not a cure all.
it does not come in a pill form.
Digital revolution in healthcare
Thousands of connected medical devices. Hundreds of things to measure about the human body and performance.
400M consumer devices by 2020
four main areas of devices where clinical research has been done or is being done with mindfulness:
consumer wearables like fitbits (resting HR)
medical wearables like insulin pumps
stationary devices like Cpap sleep machines
Devices imbedded in your body or under your skin like pacemakers, neurostimulators and birth control
Before bluetooth, all devices used to look at them to see you have a problem. now Bluetooth. so you have app to tell you there’s a problem. and a connection to your doctor to remind people you have a problem. so we have all of this data in search of solutions.
and the attention is turning more to training solutions to actually help with the problem.
Companies are looking to targeted their biggest healthcare cost drivers
Companies like validic are providing access via APIs
PERSONALIZED. PROACTIVE. PREVENTATIVE. PREDICTIVE.
Medical-device wearables tend to target one of the four most prevalent chronic illnesses: congestive heart failure, diabetes, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (source)
Roughly 72 million wearable devices were shipped in 2015, a figure that will nearly double to 156 million by 2019. (source)
A total of 85% of physicians and 76% of patients believe “wearables” could help them better manage patient health and potentially improve long-term care. (source)
even in looking at a small subset of wearables and biometric devices, there’s a wide range of
mindfulness solutions
resting heart rate
blood pressure
cortisol levels (Mindful labs)
sleep (fusion health)
Fatigue (Curageous)
smoke cessation, obesity and crave eating, blood sugar (Dr. Jud Brewer)
resiliency training with the military
btw this is what my wife and i look like when we go to sleep. but not for good reasons.
