Description
Managers and operators of senior living communities are increasingly looking for ways to differentiate themselves in today's rapidly changing environment, characterized by major shifts in technology, regulation and resident needs and preferences. Being an early adopter of innovation can give you a serious competitive edge because your residents and staff will recognize your organization is willing to explore new ways to improve their experience.
But adopting new products and technologies can be risky and stressful. Managers and operators must evaluate risk, assess effects on residents and staff and attempt to accurately predict the costs and benefits of switching to something new.
In this webinar, you will learn how the Toronto-based Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation (CABHI) invests in and promotes innovations in partnership between senior living providers and industry partners. CABHI experts will demonstrate how innovation pays in the long run, sharing tools, strategies and upcoming opportunities to facilitate implementation, adoption and procurement.
Learning Objectives
- Understand why a strategic approach is required to successfully adopt and procure new products and technologies.
- Learn how to identify your business problem and recognize how innovative solutions can be applied to solve it.
- Evaluate the cost efficiencies and qualitative benefits that bring a significant return on your investment.
