Jun 28 Swiss Healthcare Club (CHIC) Value-based Healthcare: a fad or miracle cure for systems globally?

Dear Alumni,
You are invited to an exciting INSEAD Swiss Healthcare Club evening conference in Lausanne on June 28, 2018.

Value-based Healthcare: a fad or miracle cure for systems globally?
June 28, 2018
It is just over a decade since Professor Porter and Professor Teisberg introduced the idea of Value-Base Healthcare (VBHC) in their book Redefining Healthcare. The aim of VBHC is to maximize value for patients, which is defined as “outcomes that matter to patients” divided by “total cost to deliver care”. VBHC aspires to be the strategy that will fix health care globally. In the meantime, many healthcare providers, payers & insurers, pharma and medtech sectors, with varying degrees of urgency and priority, have embarked on the journey to operationalize the VBHC principles, from re-organizing care around the patient and his disease, to systematic outcome and cost measurement, or bundled payments.  Where are we 10 years later?

Dear Alumni,
You are invited to engage with business leaders who are using artificial intelligence technology in their organizations at an INSEAD Alumni Association Switzerland after work event in the heart of Zurich’s international financial district.


When Executives Turn Digital (3 executives, 3 journeys & more than 3 challenges)
June 19, 2018, Zurich
Chat bots, smart agents, machine learning, apps and other digital technologies are beginning to affect the way we work, how we interact with organizations, and with each other. Meanwhile, hype, confusion, and fear-inducing headlines blur the facts about using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in business. Learn what the real impact is when three industry executives, two of whom are INSEAD alumni, reflect on their digitalization and AI systems rollouts. The panel discussion will focus on the journey, how the technologies affect people, professions, and functional roles, not necessarily on cost and efficiency benefits. Join us at Saxo Bank’s trading lounge for an extraordinary chance to network, ask questions and gain insights, without the hype! The panel discussion will be immediately followed by an apéro riche.

Marc Holitscher, CTO Microsoft Switzerland
