Vanderbilt Health DNA: Discoveries in Action

On Season 4, leaders from around the VUMC enterprise explore issues facing businesses across industries, and how the enterprise is experimenting with and designing solutions for problems – old and new – by supporting smart people with visionary ideas. You’ll track how a few ideas fused and matured over decades into the engine of a global collaboration, and why progress requires bold confidence in people, taking calculated risks, and transformative optimism about what could be next. Structured as a four-part case study, whose endings are yet unwritten, season listeners get a peek into how a storied institution thinks about change, disruption from within and around, and rallies around initiatives designed to improve complex medical, research, community and workplace challenges.
