Cleveland Clinic Ideas for Tomorrow Speaker Series: Harvard Business Professor Michael Porter

Greater Cleveland Partnership Investor-level members have the opportunity to hear first-hand from some of the world’s most distinguished thinkers and personalities through Cleveland Clinic’s “Ideas for Tomorrow” speaker series. The next program, on Wed. Dec. 16, at 5 p.m. will feature Michael E. Porter, the Bishop William Lawrence University Professor at Harvard Business School.

Professor Porter is a leading authority on company strategy and the competitiveness of nations and regions. His work is widely recognized in governments, corporations, nonprofits and academic circles across the globe. His core field is competition and company strategy, and this remains the focus of his research. His work has also re-defined thinking about competitiveness, economic development, economically distressed urban communities, environmental policy, and the role of corporations in society. He is the author of 18 books and numerous articles.

Recently, Professor Porter has devoted considerable attention to understanding and addressing the pressing problems in health care in the United States and other countries. His book, Redefining Health Care, with Professor Elizabeth Teisberg, develops a new strategic framework for transforming the value delivered by the health care system, with implications for providers, health plans, employers, and government, among other actors. His New England Journal of Medicine research article, "A Strategy for Health Care Reform—Toward a Value-Based System" (June 2009), lays out a health reform strategy for the U.S.
