The Learning Imperative

Why Most Health Systems Fail And How Yours Will Succeed

Beschreibung

Why do academic health systems keep failing at transformation-despite brilliant people, adequate resources, and genuine commitment? After a decade working inside academic health systems across three continents, physician-scientist Nabil Zary has identified a pattern that explains why most improvement initiatives quietly die within 18 months. It's not a lack of effort. It's not resistance to change. It's something more fundamental-and more fixable-than anyone wants to admit. The uncomfortable truth: Most health systems are trying to solve an organic problem with mechanical tools. They teach emergent learning principles through linear processes. They pursue culture change through committee structures. And they wonder why nothing sticks. The Learning Imperative challenges everything you think you know about organizational transformation. Through unflinching analysis and real-world examples from systems that succeeded-and those that spectacularly failed-this book reveals:The five reasons transformation efforts consistently fail (and the one underlying cause that makes them all inevitable) Why governance-not culture, not technology, not training-is the foundational decision that determines whether your transformation succeeds or joins the 70% that fail The critical first 90 days that separate systems destined for breakthrough from those destined for yet another abandoned initiative How to conduct an honest organizational autopsy before launching your next transformation attempt This is not a feel-good book. There are no easy frameworks or reassuring platitudes. Instead, you'll find diagnostic questions that force uncomfortable self-assessment, decision points that demand real commitment, and a clear-eyed roadmap for leaders ready to stop pretending and start transforming. If your organization has tried transformation before and failed, this book will tell you why. If you're about to try again, it might save you from repeating the same mistakes. Essential reading for health system leaders.

Nabil Zary grew up in Casablanca, studied medicine in Sweden, and then earned a PhD in Medical Sciences at the Karolinska Institute,with a special interest in learning sciences and emerging technologies. He has since built an academic career across fivecountries: Morocco, Sweden, the USA, Singapore, and Dubai, navigating the visa applications, family negotiations, and identityquestions that come with building a scholarly life far from where you started.He is now Professor of Medical Education at a Medicine and Health Sciences University in Dubai. His research explores howemerging technologies, from virtual patients to artificial intelligence, can transform how health professionals learn. But his path to thisposition was not the straight line that titles suggest. Along the way, he has sat in cafés wondering whether to take the safe administrativerole or the uncertain research path, weighed opportunities abroad against obligations at home, and learned that the question What kindof scholar do I actually want to become? Has no single correct answer.This book grew from watching hundreds of early-career academics struggle with that same question, and realizing that whatthey needed was not another framework or checklist, but a way to see di¿erent paths from the inside. That is why this book tells storiesrather than gives advice. The characters are invented, but the patterns are real. If you recognize yourself in their dilemmas, the book hasdone its work.You can find Nabil on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/nabilzary or reach him on various social media channels. He welcomes hearingfrom readers, especially those in the middle of their own career questions.
