Description
Note: This course was recently updated (Dec 2022)
Note: This course was previously named "Clinical System Adoption" but has been updated to include both healthcare and non healthcare markets.
WHY IS THIS COURSE IMPORTANT?
It is estimated that somewhere between 80% and 90% of new product introductions fail in the marketplace. This is often due to a misunderstanding of how these products diffuse into the market and how customers respond to the various phases of product or service introduction. Proven models are available which can help us predict with some degree of accuracy, the rate at which our new production introduction will be adopted by the market. Understanding these models will greatly enhance the probability of success with our product and service introductions.

WHAT IS YOUR TEACHING STYLE?
My teaching style is a very pragmatic one. I assume you know nothing about this topic and start with the foundation and build from there. Some of these concepts could be challenging, so I sprinkle in as many examples as I can, both non healthcare and healthcare, to assure full understanding of the topic. This is why I have appended "Plain and Simple" to all my courses.
WHY ARE YOU QUALIFIED TO TEACH THIS COURSE?
I spent 35 years in the designing and launching of medical imaging products and services. My career evolved from leading engineering teams, to becoming VP Marketing and then to president of a Healthcare IT firm. It is also based on 15 years of university teaching.
