When you're trying to lead game-changing growth, it's easy to hit roadblocks and wonder, “Why can't we make faster progress?” But when leaders understand there are three “Growth Igniter Paradoxes” at play, their organizations become less vulnerable to disruption. They can increase their impact and accelerate new growth. https://workmatters.com/Igniting-Game-Changing-Growth-with-Pam-Harper--Scott-Harper

Scott was great to talk to and to learn a lot about his own life and things he's dealt with.  We discuss a lot of relatable topics, besides just the music.  We do hit on his time touring with Whitecross, during the early 90's and then his time playing with Michael Sweet.  Things didn't end the way he hoped, with Michael and he mentions what he was told.  He talks about how it bothered him for a long time and he finally was able to move on and forgive.  Scott isn't a big name in the music industry, but what he had to talk about is really worth a listen.  I appreciate Scott's conversation and I know the listener will enjoy this conversation.

This week we head back to the Southwest region of the "Keystone State" (Pennsylvania). Scott Harper joins me to share his knowledge and experiences while hunting the diverse terrain in Pennsylvania.

This is episode #43 of Custom Made and this week I’m sitting down with Dialexa founder and CEO, Scott Harper. Earlier this week we hosted a panel event at our Dialexa offices on the topic of Business Impact Innovation. Right after the event, I grabbed Scott and we recorded some of the key themes that were discussed by the panelists and the attendees. Real quick, when we talk about Business Impact Innovation we mean bringing innovative thinking to solve real business problems and needs, that is measurable and impactful to the current state of the organization. Not exploring emerging technologies with no direct link or impact on your business today or in the next couple of years. With the notable closures of innovation labs for organizations such as Nordstrom and The New York Times, you could argue that “innovation” can mean putting a target on your back. But, we saw the importance of having an event on this topic with innovation leaders who are putting in place the right process to solving problems, people to drive the change, and yes in some cases new technology to solve their organization needs. Two reports have also been recently published that reinforce the need for this to be a topic that should be discussed across enterprise organizations. The first is from Forrester on CIO Predictions for 2019. Their predictions for CIOs next year include the need to embrace tech-led innovation revenue and speed metrics. How will what you are doing impact the growth of the company and the speed in which you drive change and roll out new offerings. Also, that Forrester full expects a tech moonshot meltdown to happen that will cause many organizations to refocus their efforts on the business needs of today and near-term, not the future. IBM’s Watson seems to be firmly in the cross-hairs of that conversation. What was also interesting was that they expect 20% of top-performing firms will be looking for new CIOs in 2019, which if you are in that role today looking for partners like Dialexa to support in accelerating projects and initiatives seems more important than ever. The second report we discussed at our event was a State of Innovation report that has been recently released from CB Insights. A couple of the takeaways from this included: - Corporate innovation is slow: 60% of companies said it takes a year or longer to create new products. Corporate propensity for building over partnering or buying slows down innovation. - Companies lack confidence in their ability to innovate: The companies CB Insights spoke with found evidence that innovation becomes progressively more difficult as ideas move into development and then into commercialization. I’ll include links to both of these in the show notes for this episode at Dialexa.com. Be sure to tweet me @dougplatts with your thoughts on this episode and your thoughts on the business impact innovation.

This is episode #32 of Custom Made and this week I’m joined again by Dialexa co-founder and CEO, Scott Harper. As Dialexa’s CEO, Scott’s role here as evolved as the company has grown. From working in the business to working on the business. Scott is a serial entrepreneur who has launched multiple technology product companies over the past decade, is the winner of the Ernst & Young Emerging Technology Entrepreneurs Of The Year and the Dallas Business Journal 40 Under 40, and has steered Dialexa through the ups and downs of moving from a startup to a growing brand whilst achieving year-on-year growth and with the team being recognized two years in a row by Entrepreneur.com as one of the top entrepreneurial companies in America. This week I’ve got a great discussion with Scott breaking down how the current consulting firm model is dead and how the relationship these firms have with clients needs to change. During our conversation, we discuss what is wrong with the current consulting firm model and how the consulting firm selection game, and the rules that have been defined, are set up in a way that has stopped bringing value to the relationship. And yes, it is necessary to have criteria (or rules) to help with the consulting firm selection game, but what happens when you create a game with rules? People play the game. Because these criteria or rules are in place, companies tend to focus on the wrong metrics. For example hourly rate rather than say speed to market or product quality. Yes, these are harder to measure and manage during vendor selection but they are essential for project success. Companies need to accept that all types of consulting firms have a place in their organization and take the time to find the right consulting firm that meets their needs, rather than stay with firms that are “jack of all trades, masters of none”. And to help with this, consulting firms need to understand where their strengths are and play in those spaces, rather than over-reach themselves and put the quality of their work at risk.

Session 73 Dr. Scott Harper is has been out of training for 8 years. He joined us to talk about his specialty, Geriatrics, and what he loves about it and more. Scott is in an academic medical center at Wake Forest Medical School. He shares with us his journey to Geriatric Medicine, what it takes to get there, things he likes the most and least, and more! And if you haven’t yet, please take a listen to all our other podcasts on MedEd Media! [01:24] Interest in Geriatric Medicine Scott traces his interest in the speciality back to when he was medical school, going through the clinic rotations. When he was working with patients he found he was most drawn to the extremes of age. He envisions his practice to include babies and kids to adults and people nearing the end of their life. When he was in family medicine for residency, he had an almost exclusively geriatric population in his clinic practice. He didn't feel he had the skillset to take care of all of their needs so this became his goal going into Geriatrics. During medical school, Scott recalls his grandfather entering the first stages of Alzheimer's disease and this bolstered his interest. He would visit him often and one day while he was riding with him in the car, he was stopping at every stop light regardless of the color of the light. He knew then that something was amiss. And he got to see how his disease progressed and the challenges that came along with it especially that family was not in the same town. [04:50] Traits that Lead to Becoming a Good Geriatrician Patience is critical to be a good geriatrician. You've got to be comfortable with things moving slowly. Most of the patients you will be taking care of move slowly and talk slowly. A lot of times, their content is very rich but doesn't come out in a rush. You also have to be comfortable with complexity. You have to be able to navigate all these things and understand that you may never have the perfect answer to what's going with the patient. Instead, you have to be able to tweak and optimize several different realms. "Patience, you've got to be comfortable with things moving slowly." By complexity, it may run the gamut of acuity, but not entirely. Scott describes the neat thing specifically about his job is he gets to do a lot of geriatric primary care. So he gets to see people for anything from infected toenail to Crohn's disease, management of 10-12 co-morbid conditions. Or sometimes, they'd have acute infections and they'd have to triage them into the hospital or the emergency room. There's other roles geriatricians play outside of primary care where you get to see different levels of acuity, which boils down to folks using medical services most often. If you're in the hospital as a geriatrician, you're going to be seeing a lot of acutely ill and complex older adults. Some geriatricians end up doing exclusively or a subset of the care in the nursing home setting or in a rehab center. Here, you'd be seeing folk who just came out of the hospital or moving in there for their final address. [08:05] Diseases Specific to the Older Population Scott explains this idea in geriatrics called Geriatric Syndromes, which are the end result of myriad processes that tend to commonly present in older adults. This occurs a lot in the primary care setting. Some of these diseases include memory loss, cognitive impairment, dementia, or somewhere along that disease spectrum and acute delirium. They may also deal with dizziness, imbalance, or falls. There are also osteoporosis, vision loss, hearing loss, urinary incontinence. "The way a person ends up with urinary incontinence may be very different than the way a different older adult ends up with urinary incontinence but the end result is the same." [09:05] A Typical Day Scott describes his day in the clinic seeing around 7 to 10 older adult patients in any given half day. He spends an average of 30 minutes with each of them. Most of them are there for regular check ins, where he has this process of getting their history. He'd also do a medication review. He'd usually touch on a functional assessment just to make sure there's not any significant change since last seeing his patients, otherwise he'd come up with a plan. "I found that medication is probably one of the biggest challenges in that setting." Sometimes, the plan is not a lot if the patient is doing really great in their current medication regimen and the current social support is optimized. In this case, they can just stay the course. Other times, it can be very detailed ad bulleted in big print, changing things and resources to mobilize. [10:22] Taking Calls and Work-Life Balance In terms of taking calls, the way their practice works is that they cover their own patients that are admitted to the hospital. As a group, they do the hospital care and they cover . for a week at a time. In about once every 7-8 weeks, he'd do 7 24 hours in row. During that time period, he's responsible for hospice care and covering phone calls and stuff overnight. It's made more possible by the fact he's got nurses that work with him as well as residents to take first pass with the phone calls. So he goes from very busy patient care and long hours and then go back to having 6-7 weeks without having to take any phone call. As to why there are no hospitalists taking care of their patients in the hospital, Scott explains their institution has chosen to keep it the traditional way. And this tends to be usual in academic settings or in rural settings. "The "old fashioned" model tends to either be in academic settings or in rural settings." Being an academic center, they hope residents are able to do care in a setting where they need to do hospital care. Or if they end up in a more typical primary care practice, they'd be able to recognize which patients need hospital care and be able to appropriately get them into the hospital. And that they'd be able to take the care back over from hospital care. Currently, Scott describes that the most variable piece for him is the student education and clerkship administrations responsibilities. There are times of the year where it ebbs and flows. There are periods when they have to auto pilot in terms of figuring out what to change the next year. Or if they implement the change at the start of the new year, it can get very busy and the hours can get longer. [13:45] The Training Path and Other Opportunities to Subspecialize Scott outlines the training path to becoming a geriatrician. The two most typical would be to do residency in either internal medicine, which is a 3-4-year program, or family medicine, which is typically a 3-year program. Then you go on to do additional training fellowship in geriatrics. There are also programs that can run from one year to three years. The longer programs tend to include more palliative care training and more research opportunities. The one-year programs are focused on geriatric principles "The longer programs tend to include more palliative care training and more research opportunities." In terms of competitiveness, Scott describes the specialty as very program-dependent, but overall, it's not very competitive. One of the few instances that you can do additional training and the result is you end up with a population that's insured by Medicare which tends to pay less than private insurers. And they would also require longer visits or longer hospital stays. So there's lower volume that you can provide care for. This said, you have to have the proper mindset. "If you feel like your goals is to do that care regardless of the financial impact, it may be a positive idea." The specialty he sees more commonly is that people pari geriatrics with some other training to expand the scope of their care like Palliative Care and Hospice Services. So they're not just doing geriatrics, but also managing patient symptoms and end of life care. This option also has a fellowship training involved. This also opens different doors. Instead of doing primary care, you might be a hospice director or do some sort of pain management in the outpatient setting. Second, wound care is another place older adults with like arterial disease and venous problems and diabetes, and all the things that can put you at risk for wounds on your legs. [17:30] Working with Primary Care and Other Specialties and Special Opportunities Outside of Clinical Medicine Scott says that there are times patients can benefit from a geriatrician. There are only a few geriatricians in a huge and growing geriatric population. But because there aren't enough geriatricians to take care of the geriatric population, most folks are not going to have access to a geriatrician for their care. So this is actually one of the things that called him towards his academic part of his life. Even if he can't impact the population directly, at least he can provide some geriatric principles and some things to keep in mind as you're making decisions on behalf of older patients regardless of the specialty you go into. This way, he still gets to bolster the care of older adults in a much broader sense. He gets to impart nuggets of knowledge to medical students and residents that come through, so they can take it and apply it to whatever field they end up to. "There aren't geriatricians to take care of the geriatric population. It's a specialty of which there are not a ton of. It's a population in which there are a ton of." As to when to know when it's time to seek out the care of an older adult, Scott illustrates the two realms. First is when cognition fails. Where primary care doctors could and do provide care but it's a place where there's a lot of insecurity and patients and their families want a lot of answers. So having that familiarity with the pathophysiology and the ongoing research and local community support and resources are very important. The other instance is when there is so many concurrent problems that the patients don't fit neatly into the usual workflow in the primary care clinic. Scott says they often work a lot with their geriatric colleagues on the internal medicine side of things. Other specialties include wound care doctors, urogynecologists, and neurologists. There are unique opportunities outside of clinical medicine like home care positions, where you do house calls. A lot of geriatricians have some foot in one of two worlds - research is one and education is another. [24:55] What He Wished He Knew that He Knows Now and the Most and Least Liked Things What he wished he knew before that he now knows is that you can't be efficient and do geriatrics. There are goals you're not going to be able to achieve and you have to be okay with being inefficient. Remind yourself that your goal is to provide the best care to the patient as possible. "Remind yourself that your goal is to provide the best care to the patient as possible." What he likes the most about being a geriatrician is the patients. He likes having gained the relational aspect of medicine. He gets to know patients over time and be able to meet their families. He gets to have frequent conversations that are enlightening and affirming, talking about goal setting. What he likes the least is that piece that is mentally stimulating. For him, some of those simple visits are not part of his regular practice. He would have wanted to have some visits that you can just accomplish in 5 minutes and feel you've closed the loop on the condition brought to the office. [28:29] Major Changes in the Future Scott talks about lens and cataract removals and the ways they can treat urinary incontinence, even in men, where they put artificial sphincters. The hearing aid technology has been successful. Technology around would dressings can also be neat. So he gets to see how these technologies impact his patient's functions. Another shift he sees that may impact geriatric primary care is his push towards risk-based care. It's the idea that insurers are going to pay healthcare systems a set amount to take care of patients based on their cumulative risks. Being able to use that money to provide care just makes sense. [31:45] Final Words of Wisdom Scott says to be open to the learning opportunities. There's not going to be any shortage and you'd be interacting with a lot of older adults. Lastly, as you hear Scott talk about the shortage of geriatricians, we need more geriatricians now. As our population ages, we need more geriatric medicine specialists out there to take care of our aging population. It may not be the most glamorous or the highest paid specialty, but it's a great, and hopefully rewarding, career for you in the future. Links: MedEd Media

Dan's immersion in the subject started in 1986 when he had his first very intense encounter. It was a life changing event for an 18yr old kid and, while keeping his ear to the ground for any Bigfoot news, he kept his story to himself for twenty five years before finally telling it publicly. Dan told his story and the stories of friends growing up, in the Northern California Sasquatch Stories series on the Bigtruth YouTube channel. Dan started Bigtruth on Facebook, a Bigfoot news page simultaneously near the end of 2012. Ed Brown came on board for the Sit Down With Ed Brown and Sasquatch Encounters series' in 2014 and Dan's ongoing research in the Sky Lakes Wilderness Area of the Southern Oregon Cascades can be found on the "Bigtruth's Sasquatch Investigations" tab on the Bigtruth YouTube channel. The Bigtruth blog can be found at bigtruthblog.blogspot.com The blog contains articles by Dan and Ed Brown and also a blog series by best selling author Scott Harper documenting the earliest Sasquatch encounters from every state across the country. Dan is a two time author. "The Wild Boy of Kentucky" and "Northern California Sasquatch Stories" are both available at the Amazon and Kindle Stores. Happily married with 4 kids and 5 grandkids, Dan has a passion for nature and the subject that takes him into the pristine Sky Lakes Wilderness on a regular basis. In the summer of 2017 Bigtruth Productions teamed with Lundy Street Productions to film "Here Be Giants" in Dan's research area. The film will be released in 2019. In 2018 Bigtruth will produce two films. "The Bigger Truth" is a documentary that will again be filmed in Dan's research area through the summer and "Forest Dark" is a feature film that will be filmed in July. https://bigtruthblog.blogspot.com/

We are on episode #013 of Custom Made and this week I’ve got a great episode with guests Scott Harper, Dialexa’s co-founder and CEO, and Chris Garrick, Sr Partner here at Dialexa. If you haven’t yet listened to episode #1 of Custom Made, be sure to check it out after you have finished with this episode. In episode #1, I catch up with Scott on how he saw the business opportunity of custom product development that led to Dialexa being born. Scott and the team here at Dialexa have worked with a broad range of organizations, across a variety of industries to drive innovation through custom product development. Along with Scott, I’m joined on this episode by Chris Garrick. Chris is a Senior Partner at Dialexa and represents the voice of the client across our organization having held positions on both sides of the services/client relationship. Chris joined the Dialexa leadership team last year bringing more than 20 years of strategy, operational and consulting experience specializing in digital transformation and has helped several companies enable their strategic capabilities through technology. He has founded two technology companies and held various leadership positions across the energy, finance and technology industries. Most recently Chris comes from spending the past five years at CBRE where he served as Global SVP of Technology and Innovation focused on leading technology transformation strategy development and new tech identification, introduction and incubation. Whilst at CBRE Chris co-founded CBRE Labs - a dedicated team focused on innovation, design thinking and building a case for change through experimentation. Prior to CBRE, he was a consultant specializing in the intersection of technology and business at Booz & Company, where he was aligned with the consumer, media and digital practice. On this weeks episode, I’m talking with Scott and Chris on how to drive innovation within an enterprise organization. Innovation is definitely a word that has lost its impact and its value due to being overused and misused, and means different things to different people - or just makes you want to roll your eyes! Successful innovation is also typically associated with the start-up community, whereas an enterprise organization can be known as the place where innovation dies or not utilized to drive business impact, but instead becomes an outlier or science fair project within the organization. But that is not true, an enterprise organization has an existing customer base to build new products, offerings or companies off of. They have established processes and resources that can accelerate growth, and there is a wealth of experience that if tapped in to and aligned in the right way can be extremely powerful. Now don’t get me wrong there are still hurdles to overcome for innovation to be successful within an organization and so in today’s episode, we wanted to address what it actually means to innovate within an enterprise. During this episode we address the following key topics: - What does it mean to innovate at a large organization - What does an enterprise innovation process look like - And why you should focus on a Case for Change rather than a Business Case to set expectations for the projects you take on

This week on Custom Made I'm joined by serial entrepreneur, Dialexa Chairman, and Vinli CEO Mark Haidar who is sharing the chapters to date that tell the story of connected car platform, Vinli - from conception, to product launch at TechCrunch Disrupt's Startup Battlefield, and beyond. Mark discovered technology at a young age thanks to a couple of computers donated to his school by the United Nations. Born and raised in Lebanon, Mark founded his first tech company by the age of 17, and built award-winning technology systems before his 21st birthday. After moving to the U.S. to study at the University of Detroit Mercy, Mark led the development of a connected car project for the US Army. With aspirations to create a better world through technology, Mark co-founded Dialexa with our CEO, Scott Harper. As Dialexa grew they developed an internal incubator, Dialexa Labs, that has spun out three companies including Vinli, the world’s leading connected car platform, and Robin, the world's first robotic mowing service. Today, Mark is the Chief Executive Officer of Vinli, and sits on the board of Vinli, Dialexa, Nara, Robin Technologies, UNICEF USA (Great Plains Region), and is an active member of YPO. When he’s not in Dallas, Mark is sharing his story on the global stage, and advocating for children and refugee rights. The Dialexa Labs team designed and developed Vinli with the original mission of making the most disconnected mobile device in the world - automobiles - connected! The team conceived and created the most powerful and comprehensive connected car platform in the world, reimagining the in car experience for both drivers and passengers. The solution is comprised of the most powerful connected car platform and OBD-II device out there, the most comprehensive app store for any car or model, and the most diverse suite of applications and services for vehicles.

Dan Lindholm’s immersion in the subject started in 1986 when he had his first very intense encounter. It was a life changing event for an 18yr old kid and, while keeping his ear to the ground for any Bigfoot news, he kept his story to himself for twenty five years before finally telling it publicly. Dan told his story and the stories of friends growing up in the Northern California Sasquatch Stories series on the Bigtruth YouTube channel. Ed Brown came on board for the Sit Down With Ed Brown and Sasquatch Encounters series' and Dan's ongoing research in a very active area of the Southern Oregon Cascades can be found on Bigtruth's Sasquatch Investigations tab on the Bigtruth YouTube channel. The Bigtruth blog can be found at bigtruthblog.blogspot.com The blog contains articles by Dan and Ed Brown and also a blog series by best selling author Scott Harper documenting the earliest Sasquatch encounters from every state in the country. Dan runs the Bigtruth page on Facebook which is a daily Bigfoot news source and a couple related groups. Dan's first e-book, The Wild Boy of Kentucky, was recently published and is available at the Kindle Store. Happily married with 3 kids and 4 grandkids, Dan has a passion for nature and the subject that takes him into the pristine Sky Lakes Wilderness on a regular basis.
