More than a decade ago I attended a panel discussion at a national healthcare conference. After a lively
exchange between the C-level panelists, the floor was opened up for Q&A with the audience.  The first question posed was “What keeps you up at night?”  One CEO’s response was “finding good people” – and his colleagues on the panel concurred. 

It’s a thread we hear over and over again.  And it seems universal, even in the best run organizations, regardless of stage in company life cycle, size, or industry.  Large companies seem to struggle with best applying the talent they have, and smaller ones often struggle with asking talent to stretch across unfamiliar business functions.  While every executive strives to hire A players, the reality is they still crave expert input to move their organization forward in meaningful ways.  And they long for experts who collaborate with the organization’s existing teams (not in a vacuum)—not those who rattle off the standard bulleted list of recommendations, then move on to the next gig.  But these experts can be incredibly hard to find—and they are expensive (if not impossible) to hire.

During my many years in healthcare publishing, I took countless calls from executives on the hunt for experts to help tackle challenges, small and large.  The need was universal:  whether it be leaders in academia, state associations, product/service solution providers, healthcare operators, entrepreneurs…even fellow publishers.  During these conversations I’d hear about the need for  a fresh perspective.  Acceleration. Deep expertise.  Senior wisdom.  Innovation.  Creativity. Things every organization needs to different degrees in slightly different ways and at different times in their progression.

That was the genesis a year ago of a vision for a new type of community, a gathering of experts in healthcare with global perspective, grounded in the reality of decades of experience.  So I started a list of experts who’ve impressed me in this business…and the gifts they bring to the people they serve.  Before long, I had a list of dozens – all with dream-like CVs, and power-packed results only experts who really know their stuff can deliver. There was one little problem.  How in the world could I hire them all and create the dream company?  Ironically to hire them would take away their elfin magic, which is what all those CEOs want in the first place: an outsider to come in and shake things up.
