Session 2 (of 3): Exploring the Challenge Beneath the Challenge

What's this series about?
Sparked by a community poll and brought to life by HRC member Brent Renkema, this three-part series provides an opportunity to explore the big idea: How are healthcare's most challenging problems connected to broader social systems?  

And what happens when we stop treating symptoms and start addressing root causes? 

Why attend
In this second session, we'll delve beneath the surface of healthcare's visible problems and explore what's truly driving them.  You'll practice new methods for uncovering root causes and begin to see where change might truly start. 

Who should attend
Anyone committed to creating a lasting impact in healthcare, especially those ready to challenge assumptions, explore patterns, and reframe problems from the inside out. 

What to expect 

• Interactive group work to explore hidden dynamics 

• Tools to identify leverage points for meaningful change 

• Creative frameworks that push past traditional thinking 

Missed Session 1?  No worries, we'll share the recording and summary so you can catch up.  Each session adds value on its own, though we recommend attending the whole series if you can 

Special thanks to HRC member Brent Renkema for stepping forward to co-lead this work!  Brent brings deep experience in design thinking, lean manufacturing, and creative collaboration.  He's passionate about using iterative problem-solving to address complex healthcare challenges, and we're thrilled to learn from him.
