Solving complex problems with public entrepreneurship and technology.
Join us for a thought-provoking evening at the Beedie School of Business when the CMA Centre for Strategic Change hosts Professor Anita McGahan as she shares her experience and perspective on the delivery of healthcare in South Sudan. Dr. McGahan will describe how innovative technologies are implemented to improve the health of impoverished communities and demonstrate that even in some of the most remote corners on the planet, the most fundamental challenges of technology adoption tend to be cultural and organizational. She will show how new forms of collaborative innovation are leading to breakthroughs that could eventually find their way back to North America to change the way we think about healthcare and even about health itself. Dr. McGahan’s presentation will be followed by an interactive question-and-answer session and networking reception. |
