Silo Bursting
They Unite Diverse Stakeholders
The healthcare industry has been notoriously siloed, a challenge
which is felt now more than ever as experts agree that system-wide
collaboration is needed. Healthcare-focused discovery weekends
have become a global phenomena bringing together highly diverse
stakeholders across the world.

They Produce Tangible
Outcomes for Participants
Working in such highly cross-functional teams facilitates
iterative conception and testing of ideas—and eventual
development into more complete functional prototypes, all of
which offer immediate benefits to innovators.

They Provide a Petri Dish for
Experimentation for Sponsors
One of the biggest results we’ve seen from discovery events is the
benefits they provide to the host organization’s own ability to breed
a culture and mindset of innovation - from opening up their data
sets, learning from failure, and understanding the potential and
challenges that new technologies bring.
