What happens when breakthrough technology arrives before the infrastructure to support it? Healthcare organizations face AI transformation without the policies, governance, or strategic frameworks to implement it effectively. The gap creates a vacuum that patients are filling on their own—forcing leaders to rethink their approach.

In this episode, Dr. Zayna Khayat joins the conversation as a health futurist—not to predict what's coming, but to help healthcare leaders make strategic decisions that create their desired future rather than react to an uncertain one. Alongside physicians and executives navigating innovation from different vantage points, she explores why proven innovations stall in approval cycles, and how leaders shift from reactive deliberation to strategic action.

The episode demonstrates what that shift requires: deciding what percentage of organizational choices align with future vision versus current crises, building governance infrastructure before deploying innovation, and using collapse scenarios as speculative tools to change how leaders decide today. Organizations engaging in this work now shape their evolution. Those seeking certainty first may find patients and entrepreneurial outsiders have already moved forward.
