Hosted by Katharina Janus of the Center for Healthcare Management at Columbia University, Alan Weil of Health Affairs, and Bernadette Klapper of the Robert Bosch Stiftung the 5th Forum was held June 9-10, 2016 at the Capital Residence of the Robert Bosch Stiftung in Berlin on “Learning from each other – scaling ideas up to the next level”.

The Forum is specifically designed to allow participants to cross-fertilize ideas and visions thanks to the interactive format. Crossing boundaries to include various perspectives and different takes on how to change cultures and behaviors when being faced with common strategic and operational challenges was at the core of the 5th Forum.

The two-day global event featured  top academics, industry leaders, and healthcare providers, leading C.E.O.s and other experts who shared cutting-edge research and hands-on case studies.

Two fundamental elements distinguished this singular event: First, the Forum is oriented towards defining how the industry will look like in ten years and developing a forward-looking vision and roadmap to improve the organization, financing, and delivery of healthcare. Diverse leaders from various countries who face the same challenges shared their experiences on a personal level and worked jointly on solutions.

To complement and build on those insights, we seek to encourage active dialogue among global leaders to brainstorm about tomorrow’s world. Therefore, PowerPoints wer not allowed at our Forum, and people talked to each other face-to-face, moderated by our experts.

Many of the insights and findings discussed at the conference are covered in the Health Affairs Blog – the leading journal of the health sphere – and on centerforhealthcaremanagement.org. See virtual broadcasting for summary results, reports and impressions.
