The goal is to identify 2-3 good projects with strong support and leadership in the Medical Device area. We will ideate individual initiatives, then break into groups to flesh those out, identify outcomes, constraints, output, and methods. Each team will present their ideas in a lightning talk and facilitate a short discussion. After the ideas are laid out, participants will elect to get involved in making them come to reality, leaders will emerge to manage the initiatives, and others will pledge to support their actions.
