Everyone says that they want to improve outcomes and save more lives in their EMS system. So why isn’t the change happening in your community? To improve survival where historical outcomes have been poor requires a different process, one of radical innovation. Innovation sent a man to the moon, put a smartphone in everyone's hand, and can lead to an 80% survival rate from cardiac arrest in your community. Chief Sean Grayson will show you how leading innovation needs to start with changing assumptions and envisioning a future where survival is the norm not the exception. He will illustrate how the process of innovation is quite different than the management and leadership processes of everyday Fire First Response and EMS activities once the vision is in place. His data will show you how traditional wisdom, to benchmark and model industry best practices has worked, but how, where industry best practices don’t yield the desired outcomes your agency must look to reverse benchmark instead. Come see how you can apply this and other lessons of innovation leadership in your community and go home ready to improve outcomes and save the world, or at least your part of it!
