Strasys “Thinking Differently” Webinar Series
Date: 3rd December 2024
Time: 12:30 – 14:00 (UK)
Location: Virtual
This Strasys Thinking Differently webinar explores the role of data and science in decision-making, helping healthcare leaders make better decisions and cutting through politics and complex systems to improve healthcare quality.
Within the NHS, leveraging data to make better decisions amid the complexities of political, workforce, and budget pressures is more crucial than ever. We will share practical examples of using data to disrupt healthcare and how leaders can better manage the trade-offs in a challenging environment.
Leading experts explore how leaders can leverage AI and data science in their organisations as an essential capability to improve board-to-frontline decision-making. While AI has rapidly advanced in recent years despite the principles being established over 60 years ago, its foundational principles have been around for decades, offering a unique opportunity for healthcare organisations to make smarter, data-driven decisions.
Watch the insightful discussion and debate with some leading healthcare and analytics voices. Whether you’re a seasoned executive or an emerging leader, this webinar will trigger you to think differently and drive meaningful change in your organisation.

- Better decision-making through connected thinking and linking causality.

- Lessons on the impact of GAI for leaders, exploring the limitations and the potential.
- Real-life examples of disrupting healthcare through better data and decision-making.
