Reinventing Innovation:  Strategic Models for the Common Good

Complex problems like health care and climate change can’t and won’t be solved by simple, single-sector solutions. But multi-sector initiatives and systems thinking require different management skills and mindsets. This presentation will describe three examples of multi-sector initiatives - Continua Alliance, the Gravity Project, and the Multi-Solving Institute – whose leadership combines diverse resources across non-profit, government, industry, and philanthropic to drive transformation and sustainable change. 

Margo Edmunds is a health policy entrepreneur and strategist who works at the intersection of Health IT, health systems transformation, and public health. She specializes in multi-sector collaborations to improve interoperability and address social and economic risks to health.  Currently, as Vice President at AcademyHealth, she leads two national strategic initiatives on workforce diversity and inclusion and serves on several advisory groups, including the Strategic Advisory Council for the Gravity Project, a national collaborative developing data standards for social determinants of health. She previously held positions at the University of California, San Francisco; the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine; and Booz Allen Hamilton. Her edited book on Consumer Informatics and Digital Health was published in February 2019 by Springer. Margo completed post-doctoral fellowships at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, where she formerly served as an Adjunct Associate Professor of Health Policy and Management.
