The Distance Between Vision and Value: Closing the Gap in Digital Health Strategy

Peak Perspectives: Conversations from the Climb

Healthcare leaders rarely suffer from a shortage of ambitious ideas. The harder challenge is deciding which ones deserve investment and turning those choices into measurable results. Russ Branzell, President and CEO of CHIME, welcomes Peyman Zand, Chief Strategy Officer at CereCore, for a conversation about what separates a compelling strategy from one that actually delivers.

From allocating finite resources and realizing greater value from existing technology investments to creating governance that accelerates rather than restricts innovation, they examine the decisions behind sustainable enterprise performance. Peyman also explores the growing strategic implications of AI and what leaders must protect when possibility, profitability, and responsibility don't neatly align.

Key Takeaways:

• How leaders can prioritize investments and confidently say “not now” to compelling opportunities.

• Why effective governance can create greater clarity, accountability, and momentum for innovation.

• Where strong strategies most often break down between executive vision and measurable execution.

• What responsible strategic leadership requires when growth, performance, innovation, and ethical considerations compete.

• How health systems can uncover more value from technology capabilities they already own before making the next investment.
