Healthcare Keynote Speaker For Health System Leaders Facing What Comes Next

Health systems are under pressure from every direction at once. Workforce shortages are widening, costs are outpacing growth, and AI is reshaping clinical and operational work faster than most planning cycles can accommodate. Daniel Burrus has spent 40+ years helping Fortune 500 executives, including major healthcare and life sciences organizations, separate the disruptions they must prepare for from the ones still open to influence. His Hard Trends framework gives health system leadership teams a proven system for building strategy on what is certain rather than reacting to pressure after it has already strained capacity.
