Opening Keynote
Penny Kechagioglou Chief Clinical Information Officer and Deputy Chief Medical Officer University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) NHS TrustAs a senior Oncology physician, Clinical and Medical director, I bring extensive experience and a diverse portfolio of Strategic Planning, Organisational Leadership, Clinical and Corporate Governance, Digital Transformation, Research and Innovation strategy, to support healthcare organisations to realise and manage change.
Leveraging my experience in the public, private and charitable healthcare sectors, I possess a unique understanding of the relationship between those entities and how they interact in an Integrated Care System, in order to achieve shared purpose and societal benefits.
My research work and interest is in Innovation processes and Leadership enablers within healthcare organisations. Individual, organisational and system leadership behaviours have a profound effect on the success of Innovation adoption and diffusion within Integrated Care Systems. This work inspired me to train further as a Coach with specialism in Health and Wellbeing, Positive Psychology and Functional Medicine, with a vision to support people and organisations to achieve their goals and be the best they can possibly be. -

We stand at the dawn of the greatest changes in science, medicine and technology the world has ever witnessed. Digital technology and the data that flows from it is encroaching more deeply and intimately into every corner of our lives providing organisations with more opportunities and power to create value but also undermine our freedom, privacy and agency. Meanwhile individuals and society are feeling more alienated, distrusting and anxious about the new world we are creating, the institutions that serve them and the growing inequalities this is producing. We need new thinking and new ideas.
A new consciousness is emerging in which individuals and society are seeking better answers to how organisations and institutions can help us all to live more prosperous and meaningful lives . Organisations and leaders are under pressure to meet this new challenge while also having to contend with the fact that many of the historical certainties, assumptions & management models are no longer fit for purpose.
The starting point for this a recognition that a new compact is needed between people and the private, public and community sector organisations that serve them. Key to this is an understanding of VALUE EXCHANGE and how an organisation can create value for all its stakeholders.Olu Odeniyi Non Executive Director Kent Community Health NHS Foundation TrustAn energetic, proactive and high-performance business leader with extensive experience helping organisations maximise commercial gain from technology solutions.
