Why does an organizational model lock us in?
REVENUE FORMULA:
Assets & fixed cost structure,
and the margins & velocity
required to cover them
THE VALUE PROPOSITION:
A product that helps
customers do more effectively,
conveniently & affordably a
job theyve been trying to do
RESOURCES:
People, technology, products,
facilities, equipment, brands,
and cash that are required to
deliver this value proposition
to the targeted customers

Government-paid systems are similarly stymied by their silo
structures: Canada, Germany, Netherlands
The structure for 90% of Americans drives caregivers to defend
and strengthen their silos. They cannot drive care towards
lower-cost caregivers and lower-cost venues of care.
Kaiser Permanente, Intermountain, Geisinger
Employer-provided care
Sweden, Finland
Those with a system perspective find that patient health
and the drive to lower-cost venues of care and lower-
cost caregivers improve profitability.

Business model innovation is key to
improving quality and reducing costs.
Hospital industry was
established when:
Transportation was costly
Doctors were inexpensive
Each community needed a
hospital
Though they were called
General Hospitals, they
actually were focused because
most diseases were acute
The world has changed. The
industrys paradigm has
not.
Transportation is cheap and
pervasive.
Doctors are costly
Most diseases are chronic
Most hospitals try to do
everything for everybody
90% of all costs in the hospital are
overhead inherent to the business
model

A common language and
a common way to frame the problem
Science and technology propels care from left to right.
The pursuit of profit drives things from the bottom to the
top.
Almost all health care cost is in overhead, not direct
Overhead is the result of complexity
Complexity is driven by marginal, rather than full cost
thinking.
Needing to do the job is the causal mechanism behind
changing behavior and purchasing products.
Better quality at higher cost, vs. Better quality at lower
cost

Three levels in the architecture of a job
3/30/12 Copyright Clayton M. Christensen 27
Whats the job-to-be-done?
(Each job has functional, emotional & social dimensions)
What experiences in purchase & use
must we provide to do the job perfectly?
What and how to integrate?
Integrating correctly to help customers get the job
done is the essence of defensible differentiation
