Introduction
The International Centre for Health Innovation (“the Centre”), established in 2009, is situated within the
Richard Ivey School of Business at The University of Western Ontario. The Centre is dedicated to being a
catalyst for a health system that is sustainable, productive and embraces innovation. The Centre:
1. Develops leadership capacity through educational and leadership development programs
targeting current and future leaders in the health system,
2. Emphasizes education that equips students and program participants with the ability to identify,
understand, embrace and implement innovation in real business situations,
3. Empowers and builds collaborative partnerships between government, industry, health
stakeholders, researchers and funders to drive innovation adoption,
4. Supports and disseminates knowledge and evidence that our leaders need to embrace
innovation, drive change and improve the productivity of our health care system and of our
economy.

OVERVIEW
The Health Innovation Project (HIP) is a cutting-edge learning approach offered by the Centre. It
provides valuable, first-hand experience to Ivey students who are passionate about contributing to the
success of businesses at the forefront of innovation in the health sector. In doing so, HIPs prepare young
leaders to facilitate the adoption of innovative technologies, process and management systems.
As part of Ivey’s core requirements, over the course of six months each year, teams of five to six
students from the HBA and MBA stream develop a business plan for an innovative idea, study an existing
strategic issue with an organization or implement a new theoretical concept. With access to the support
and supervision of top industry experts, including Ivey faculty and executive subject matter experts
(Health Innovators-in-Residence), HIPs allow students to apply the business thinking learned in the
classroom to the creation of innovative and sustainable solutions at the forefront of the health sector.
There are five types of HIPs, they include:
Health Consulting Projects (HCP)
Based on the Ivey Consulting Project (ICP) model*, Health Consulting Projects allow established
organizations in the health sector to receive consulting services from students with a variety of business
skill sets. These projects help students develop global business capabilities by allowing them to tackle
real problems with executives in the health sector using analysis such as pharma-economics, patient
quality-of-care and government health policy regulations. The recommendations made by the students
are delivered to the partnering organization as detailed business-plans and presentations. Past clients
include: SickKids International, Phillips Medical Systems and 3M Canada.
* http://www.ivey.uwo.ca/icp/
Health Venture Projects (HVP)
The HVP is a specialized entrepreneurial-focused, team-based consulting project that takes students
through the process of refining an idea for a start-up company, researching and analyzing their
opportunities, writing a detailed business-plan and reporting the findings to the company executives.
These projects provide students with the opportunity to apply their business knowledge to the
identification and development of a commercial enterprise. In contrast to Ivey’s New Venture Projects
(NVP), HVPs are not student-derived entrepreneurial business ideas, but rather a HIP sourced from a
young start-up company.
MSc/CEMS Business Projects (January to April)
These projects are much like the Health Consulting Projects with an international outlook. Many CEMS*
students are visiting us from abroad and are enrolled in the Master of Science in Management (MSc)
program at Ivey. These talented students have typically achieved the 80th
percentile or higher at their
previous academic institutions and are preparing to launch a career into the ever-evolving, international
business world.

7. 7 | P a g e
* Previously called the Community of European Management Schools, CEMS has now grown to become
the Global Alliance in Management Education and is a cooperation of the world’s leading business
schools and universities with multinational companies and NGOs.
EMBA Executive Client Field Projects
Helping companies with real strategic business issues is the cornerstone of the Executive Client Field
Project. Working with executives and a faculty advisor, Executive MBA students tackle complex, cross-
enterprise issues from the perspective of an executive leader and often come up with creative solutions
that have significant payoffs. Health sector projects are an option for EMBA students.
Demonstration Projects
In order to help implement health innovations to build Canada’s entrepreneurial advantage, the
International Centre for Health Innovation collaborates with private sector companies, entrepreneurs
and health care institutions to identify, assess, and assist with the commercialization of innovative
health care technologies, systems and processes.
The Centre creates a platform where a team of students, faculty, HIRs and industry partners
demonstrate the effectiveness of a new product or process in a real-world setting. By understanding the
effects of a new concept or product on a small scale, implications can be drawn to formulate an
effective strategy for post-pilot implementation in larger markets.
Teams working on Demonstration Projects will be expected to move beyond the strategic proposals into
the delivery stages of the project. Various aspects of the proposals will be placed into action and
assessed using quantitative performance metrics. Implications will be drawn from the results of these
projects to enable our partners to make future decisions for broader implementation strategies.
Interacting with various stakeholders during the course of the project, students will learn about the
complexities of the health care environment and the challenges faced when executing new practices in
an established system.
The Centre provides each Demonstration Project team with a dedicated project facilitator. This enables
the study to be sustainable over long periods of time with smooth and effective transitions between
cohorts of students. The cycling of teams will ensure that fresh perspectives are used to provide
progressive analysis for our partnering organizations.

Centre Activities
E D U C A T I O N A L C O U R S E S
The Ivey MBA Health Sector Stream
Founded in 2003, the Ivey MBA Health Sector Stream is the core program of the Centre. It is a well-
established and renowned program that is proud of its record of developing leaders ready to take on the
tough challenges in health care. With the health sector accounting for up to 12% of Canada’s economy,
this program has proven a popular one among students looking to enter the health care field or to
round-out their life-sciences education. Our twelve-month program utilizes case-based learning within a
specialized health sector curriculum that focuses on three courses, in addition to the core curriculum
that all Ivey MBAs must undertake.
Honors Business Administration Elective
The Centre offers a health sector elective course for senior level students in the Honors Business
Administration program at the Richard Ivey School of Business.
Business for Medical Students Elective
The Centre is currently working to develop a fourth year elective course for medical students at the
Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry featuring business knowledge, with particular focus on
innovation, commercialization and adoption in the health sector.
Customized programs
With a wide variety of educational modules, the Centre is capable of tailoring courses to individual
organizations or groups of decision-makers. As the Centre moves forward, it is expected that a number
of additional executive development programs will be developed.
I N F O R M A T I O N D I S S E M I N A T I O N
Case Study Development
Since Ivey’s inception in 1922, the case study method has been the keystone of the school’s approach to
learning. The case method allows students to learn by doing. Each case provides the student with an
opportunity to stand in the shoes of the decision-maker, analyzing the business issue presented, making
judgments and determining a course of action. Ivey is the only school in Canada that adheres to the case
study method.
The Centre is dedicated to producing teaching cases that focus on health sector organizations, with
particular emphasis on instances of innovation, commercialization and adoption.

9. 9 | P a g e
Social Media
The Centre utilizes a variety of social media platforms to allow individuals who share an interest in the
health innovation and adoption space to connect, including Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. This
network will foster greater understanding of the innovation adoption process and facilitate
partnerships.
Innovatexchange
The Centre has built an Innovation Map of Canada that provides a snapshot of trends and achievement
in health innovation that are happening across the country. This online resource can be used to promote
knowledge translation and best practices across jurisdictions. Visit www.innovatechange.ca to explore
the tool first-hand.
Centre Activities
T H O U G H T L E A D E R S H I P
Ivey Global Health Conference
In November of each year, the Centre hosts the Ivey Global Health Innovation Conference in Toronto.
This conference brings together leaders in both academia and industry to discuss best practices in health
innovation and adoption. In addition, those leaders bring forward their thoughts on the most important
areas in which the Centre can focus its resources to create meaningful change. Student participation in
the conference allows for it to also function as a learning platform.
Academic Research Initiatives
The Centre engages in academic research initiatives that support the creation of knowledge which will
improve health innovation and adoption.
White Papers
Faculty and Postdoctoral Fellows associated with the Centre are commissioned to produce point of view
papers aimed at encouraging discussion around health innovation and adoption. We advocate evidence-
based decision-making and only disseminate concepts and ideas that have a high degree of validity. Our
research is focused on five areas of innovation inquiry: medical devices, information technology, health
systems, health finance and pharmaceuticals/biotechnology.
