Drive: What the Science of Motivation Can Teach You about High Performance
Session Number GS-T
Daniel Pink
Best-selling author of Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us

Drawing on four decades of behavioral research, Daniel Pink will reveal why the traditional approach to achieving high performance backfires on most organizations. With examples from cutting-edge companies and intriguing experiments from around the world, he will explain the three key traits of intrinsically motivated high performers and describe how organizations can create contexts that tap the deepest motivations of employees to produce the highest results. He will elucidate the dangerous mismatch between what science knows and what business does and will illustrate with real-life examples why Motivation 3.0--built on autonomy, mastery, and purpose--is so much more effective than the 20th century carrot-and-stick approach.

Growth in the Reform Era
Session Number GS-F
Michael Sachs
Chairman and CEO
Sg2

Healthcare reform is having a dramatic impact on healthcare markets, from new provider alignments to new insurance offerings to the advent of health insurance exchanges. Where will growth come from in this new environment? Will the addition of newly insured patients lift volumes across all sites of care? Will alignment provide growth opportunities? What strategies should be pursued? Historical marketing strategies will need to be rethought, historical strategies of physician recruitment driving growth will need to be examined, and historical marketing levels will need to be analyzed. Mr. Sachs will explore these issues and provide practical strategies for growth, strategies that put the patient at the center of the care system.
