Vol. 10, Issue 3 Happy Eggnog Month! Don’t miss the section on helping map the current state of design in healthcare systems, and then scroll to the bottom for a weird and wonderful innovation collision.

Founder Updated Workshop: Innovation Mindsets for Leaders
Leaders have an outsized impact on innovation, and much of that impact can be attributed to their mindset. It accelerates or implodes the work and is usually unintentional. The key is to be explicit with which mindset you are carrying and know that they are swappable. Ping me to bring the workshop to your organization. The Role of Design in Healthcare Systems
After 20 years of experimentation, it’s time to take stock. ILN is partnering with the Institute of Design’s Equitable Healthcare Lab to survey designers in US healthcare systems to learn about their practice. The resulting report will advise health system leaders on why to hire designers, where to place them, what to ask them to do, and how to support them to get the desired impact. If you are a trained designer or design leader currently employed by a US healthcare system, we need your insight! Contact Kim Erwin, Professor and Director of the lab via this form. New Book! System Thinking for Designers
I mentioned Sheryl Cababa in the last newsletter; her new book is out! It is a fantastic exploration of how designers (and design thinkers) can integrate system thinking into their toolbox. It's part case studies, part instruction, and a whole lot of passion. Get your copy here. Where Are ILNers Now: Katherine Steinberg
Katherine, who was with UCLA Health’s Institute for Innovation in Health, is now the co-founder and president of Determined Health - a platform enabling organizations to combat loneliness while better addressing a broad range of health-related social needs and closing key care gaps. Katherine would love to hear about how loneliness and social isolation are being addressed in your communities. Sparks: (Sometimes) Cool Stuff
Space Babies! And now for a dose of the future: exactly what will it take to reach the stars? Part of that answer is the ability to procreate in space. A Dutch company is taking the first steps to understand this complicated challenge. 👶 Peanut Toothpaste? Remember the ILN’s Weird Pairings InPerson Meeting in Toronto 2015? Well, here is the perfect example: What do you get when you smash toothpaste and peanuts together? A chance for those with peanut allergies to desensitize!
