Health Ecosystem Value Design 1.0

Background

Whether you're looking to research and discover new opportunities, accelerate or refine existing programmes, formulate ecosystem strategy or design novel technologies and services, we can help you advance your and your ecosystem value, sustainably.

Our framework, Health Ecosystem Value Design®, will help you think and see more systemically, understand health problems more deeply, reveal new opportunities with more clarity and inform your research, strategy and programmes with greater foresight, evidence and confidence.

With our unique blend of health ecosystem value perspectives, systemic design thinking, strategic and innovation management processes, and science and technology know-how, we can help you overcome your complex growth, innovation and transformation challenges.

Health Ecosystem Value Design® has been deployed in numerous complex health and care ecosystem contexts. These include chronic pain, obesity, surgical, elderly care, mental health, neonatal complications and in multiple long-term chronic conditions.

Summary

Health Ecosystem Value Design® is an advanced, universal framework and approach for co-creating value in health and care ecosystems. Through deep understanding of the drivers of creation and the nature of health value, we help industry, provider and government organisations to:

Acquire a new perspective on health ecosystem value
Reveal several opportunities for growth, adaptation and the redesign of health and care systems
Conceive of, and evidence multiple ecosystem value propositions in a single project
Design transformative or high-growth ecosystem strategies
Scope and co-create ecosystem interventions, programmes, technologies and solutions that scale; prior to making major commitments in funding or other resources
Build, evolve and lead ecosystem-aligned organisations, teams and practices that do all the above repeatedly

The Health and Care Ecosystem Transformation Challenge ...

To realise more healthy and flourishing health and care systems, it's necessary to break dominant, entrenched ways of thinking about health and value and also, how it is created and sustained. At Umio, we believe it is important to:

Deepen insight into complex health and care system problems, their origins and consequences
Frame and explore new spaces of possibility outside of traditional logics, silos and structures
Define adaptive strategies for guiding ongoing discovery, learning and emergence
Develop a portfolio of opportunities and value propositions, prior to investment or commitment in actual solutions
Co-create superior ecosystem interventions, technologies and solutions (of any kind) with actors, and improve the potential of existing ones in development
Build ecosystem-level capabilities and lead more creative and fulfilling organisations that do all the above repeatedly

In Health Ecosystem Value Design: Value Sensing, Exploration, Strategy and Co-Creation Framework, Chris Lawer explores how a commonly used metaphor for health systems - ecosystems - can be applied more deeply and appropriately to better understand complex health problems, conceive of novel systemic-level value propositions, co-create impactful interventions and solutions, and ultimately, accelerate the means and capacity to redesign health systems, value and wellbeing.

Written for designers, researchers, educators, innovators, managers and policymakers, the book sets out a complete framework for framing, understanding, co-creating, adapting and transforming value and wellbeing in health and care ecosystems - sustainably.
