The Real Challenge Leaders Face in This Moment

Change is no longer incremental. leaders are being hit by overlapping forces—technology acceleration, workforce shifts, cost pressure, and rising expectations—often all at once.

The problem isn’t a lack of information.
It’s signal overload.

Most organizations know something is changing, but struggle to decide:

  • What actually matters now

  • What can wait

  • What mistakes will be costly to ignore

The cost of inaction is rarely visible immediately—but it compounds fast.

What Leaders Actually Need

STOP GUESSING

Clarity on what trends matter, which don’t, and where leaders are being distracted by noise.

DECIEDE FASTER

Decision frameworks that shorten debate cycles and align leadership teams quickly.

EXECUTE WITH SPEED

Clear next steps leaders can act on immediately—not theoretical advice.

I met Dr. Julielynn Wong at the eHealth Canada 2017 conference. We talked about the world of 3D printing and the true value created by this innovative area of new tech. A pioneer in the world of 3D printing, Dr Wong has been at the forefront of the medical 3D printing revolution.

She is internationally recognized as a 3D printing, drone, robotics, telemedicine and digital health pioneer who uses cutting-edge technology to deliver healthcare solutions in diverse environments, from outer space to remote communities with limited access to healthcare resources.  She was the first to 3D print medical supplies onboard the International Space Station and at the Mars Desert Research Station.  She designed a solar-powered mobile 3D printing system that can be transported in a carry-on suitcase to produce medical supplies in remote, off-grid communities.  Julielynn regularly lectures on innovation in healthcare and is a frequent contributor to various media outlets including ABC News, Forbes, and the Huffington Post.

3D4MD was conceived by Dr. Julielynn Wong in 2011. 3D4MD combines a wealth of practical clinical knowledge, advanced qualifications, and a crowd-sourcing innovation process to address some of the most difficult healthcare problems faced in remote and challenging places to work.  3D4MD is a for-profit social enterprise whose mission is to use 3D printing, drones, and other low-cost technologies to make sustainable solutions to reduce poverty and deliver healthcare in the most challenging places to those who need it the most.  We are always seeking corporations, foundations, and organizations who share our vision and want to provide social investment to impact over 1 billion lives.
