The CHI Fellowship participants had the privilege of attending a discussion featuring Professor Jonathon Gray, who’s a leading expert in innovation and leadership, about the importance of systems thinking, storytelling, and experiential learning for driving change. With his trademark humility, honesty and generosity, Professor Gray took the class through these key insights: 1️⃣ Innovation in Crisis: Prof. Gray shared an inspiring example from the COVID-19 pandemic, where he led the transformation of a stadium into a 400-bed hospital in just a month, collaborating with military support. This was a reminder that change can be managed effectively, even in the most challenging times. 2️⃣ The Power of Connection: He emphasized that success often lies in our networks and connections. As leaders, we can’t just instruct; we need to inspire and engage others to innovate collaboratively. 3️⃣ Storytelling as a Tool: In complex situations, the ability to tell a compelling story is crucial. It helps us connect with others and navigate challenges more effectively. 4️⃣ Learning from Chaos: Prof. Gray highlighted the importance of understanding chaos and knowing who to turn to for guidance. He also pointed out that the simplest approaches often lead to the most successful outcomes. 5️⃣ Redefining Leadership: When asked about changing established rules, he stressed the importance of institutions for transparency and equity. As institutions evolve, they can alleviate anxiety and foster inclusive environments for young leaders. 6️⃣ Embracing Doubt: No leader is 100% confident all the time. Prof. Gray reminded us that self-doubt is normal and can drive us to seek evidence and support. Acknowledging our vulnerabilities is essential for growth. The hours of planning and collaboration behind large projects often go unnoticed, but they are critical to success. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of innovation and leadership together! #CHI #Fellowship2024 #leadership #innovation #systemsthinking #experientiallearning #changemanagement" Hon Tym Wong David Dhevarajulu Casper Ng Ronnie Yang

We had the privilege of engaging in a thought-provoking discussion on leadership challenges with Tan Tock Seng Hospital CEO Kong Choong Tang and AWWA Ltd CEO Mr. Karthik J, expertly facilitated by David Dhevarajulu. Here are some key takeaways: 🌟Leading Change: 🔹Innovation thrives on a culture that embraces change. Leaders need to champion new ideas and empower their teams to adapt. 🔹Holistic care involves a complete shift in mindset. Implementing programs and fostering open communication are crucial. 🌟Turning Ideas into Reality: 🔹Don't be afraid to experiment! Start with smaller proof-of-concepts (POCs) to test feasibility instead of committing to large-scale projects. 🔹Show, don't tell! Translate leadership vision through actions and encourage collaboration across teams. 🌟Overcoming Resistance: 🔹Not everyone will agree with change. Sometimes persuasion is needed, even exercising authority to push through essential innovations. 🔹Data and evidence are your allies. Understand your team's concerns and offer support to overcome resistance. If someone proves too resistant, sometimes it's okay to move on. 🌟Innovation Mindset: 🔹Innovation isn't about expensive gadgets - it's about solving real problems for patients. 🔹Revisit past innovations with fresh eyes. New perspectives may reveal cheaper, more efficient alternatives. 🌟Takeaway: 🔹Don't chase after innovation blindly. Focus on solutions that make a tangible difference in patient lives. 🔹Embrace a continuous learning approach. Be open to new ideas and adapt your perspective to evolving needs.
