Breakthrough methods to solve for the unknown on the path to innovation, creativity, and business growth, while avoiding bureaucracy and stagnationWhat sits above any person, project, function, or strategy in your organization? What impacts your company's performance for years and decades? What shows up in nearly every interaction and decision in your organization? Like it or not, there are systems at work in your organization that standardize how people think, collaborate, and make decisions. These systems affect everything, yet they're rarely discussed, managed, or even thought about.In Decision Sprint, innovation and growth expert Atif Rafiq argues that while talent is critically important to any company's success, the systems through which collaboration and decision-making happen are what separate industry leaders from the rest-and that systems designed to embrace unknowns are quickest and most enduring way to foster growth, continuous innovation, and realization of strategy.This groundbreaking guide walks readers through the process of embracing unknowns from the start of a bright idea, strategic project, or new initiative through the steps of alignment and decision making with sponsors and executives. He distills his knowledge into 13 "superpowers" that rewire how people think, collaborate, and decide in order to foster fearless interaction with the unknown, constructive questioning, team-based problem solving, and a collective IQ lift for everyone involved in strategic or innovation initiatives.These superpowers include:Moving Upstream-to feed and smooth the way for downstream executionEstablishing Decision Sprints-to tap into the power of questioning, gather the right input and defeat the fear of unknownsCrafting Workflows-to bring decision sprint to life and streamline meetings and collaborationSocializing Knowledge-to solidify buy-in, creating alignment and "drama" free decision-making for important initiativesLanding and Expanding to Achieve Adoption-to drive change one initiative at a time, starting at the team levelLeveraging Digital Tools-to utilize game changing software to enable decision sprints and pave the way for a goldmine of data about upstream workPreparing for AI-to assist leader and management with new level of radar and signal about the momentum or lack of it when it comes to translating strategy into actionDistilling years of experience working in the upper echelons of both long-established corporations and Silicon Valley organizations, Atif Rafiq has learned that when a system works to embrace the unknowns that come with new growth and market opportunities, the results can be extraordinary.Leverage Rafiq's superpowers to make innovation and creativity part of your company's DNA-and build your organization into an industry leader that constantly makes the leap from identification of whitespaces, innovation, and growth opportunities to taking decisive action on them.

From the thought leaders at Boston Consulting Group come lessons on how leading health systems around the world are delivering patient-centered, value-based care by focusing on the health outcomes that matter to patients.Delivering better health outcomes to patients for the money spent is an approach known as value-based health care. Contrary to traditional approaches to health-systems reform that emphasize cost containment, value-based health care shifts the focus to continuous improvement in the health outcomes delivered to patients. The premise of this approach is that systematically measuring, tracking, and improving health outcomes over time can have a transformative effect on the health care industry-enabling health systems to deliver better patient outcomes more consistently; to identify and disseminate best-practice treatments more rapidly; and to control total health-care costs more effectively because unnecessary procedures are eliminated, expensive complications occur less frequently, and repeat treatments are avoided. The only way for health systems to sustainably contain costs is by putting the patient and the delivery of outcomes that matter to patients at the center of the industry's efforts and by aligning incentives around the continuous improvement of health outcomes in a cost-effective manner.Featuring powerful case studies of leading value-based innovators in health systems all over the world-both public and private, as well as from both high- and low-income countries-this book is designed as a practical step-by-step guide for clinicians, payers, and policymakers alike to put these ideas into action. The Patient Priority will be an indispensable tool to launch a new era of patient-centered innovation, unlock value in health care, and accelerate the value-based transformation of the world's health systems, enabling improvements in productivity, performance, and population health.
