The Active Aging Ideation Lab
The Active Aging Ideation Lab
The world’s population is rapidly aging. It is presenting us with some wicked, complex challenges that we have not faced at this level before such as:
• Unrelenting staffing shortages.
• Increasing costs to provide care.
• Reimbursement that does not keep pace with care and
services.
• Redefining long-term care.
• Ensuring the dignity of those we serve.
• Exploring options in other supportive environments.
• Greater focus on wellness and disease management.
Rethinking our approaches and systems of care is imperative. It will take an openness to test ideas and learning by doing.
Strategic Doing was created to approach how we design and manage complex work together. It is an open-source discipline that quickly builds collaboration to leverage a collaborative’s assets and talents to find new opportunities. It is action-oriented and very scalable.
Strategic Doing is now practiced worldwide, with over thirty years of research and results. It has been tested to solve the wicked, complex challenges we face.
The Active Aging Ideation Lab will use Strategic Doing to form new ideas and concepts to address the challenges our eco-systems face with aging but to also explore proactively the dimensions of wellness that impact active aging. It is our hope to build and share the best practices in these challenges to the greater field of aging services.
