(English below )🧐 Wist je dat… De STOZ-regeling een ongebruikte bron van mogelijkheden biedt voor zorgaanbieders? De STOZ-regeling omvat drie type projecten waar zorgaanbieders subsidie voor kunnen aanvragen. Voor 2024 is er €54 miljoen beschikbaar gesteld om digitale en hybride innovaties te ondersteunen, maar slechts 4% van dit budget is tot nu toe benut! De regeling maakt het mogelijk om: 💡Een strategie en implementatieplan te ontwikkelen (max €25k subsidie). 💡Bewezen processen op te schalen of nieuwe innovaties te testen (tot €750k, cofinanciering vereist). Met eenvoudige aanvraagprocedures en ondersteuning voor zowel verkennende als opschalingsfases is dit een laagdrempelige manier om hybride zorgpaden te verbeteren. Voor 2025 wordt een vergelijkbaar budget verwacht. Weet jij al hoe jouw organisatie de STOZ-regeling kan inzetten?

(English below) Het potentieel van AI in de zorg is enorm, maar om het te ontsluiten is meer nodig dan alleen technologie. De zorg wordt geconfronteerd met unieke belemmeringen voor productiviteitswinst om een eenvoudige reden: de afhankelijkheid van menselijke arbeid en persoonlijke interacties. Dit is grotendeels te verklaren dooreen economisch principe dat bekendstaat als Baumol’s cost disease. Terwijl AI een revolutie teweeg heeft gebracht in sectoren als technologie en productie, ligt de belofte in de zorg in het ondersteunen—niet het vervangen—van menselijke professionals. Hoe kan AI administratieve lasten verlichten, kosten verlagen en zorgverleners in staat stellen zich te concentreren op wat echt belangrijk is: patiëntenzorg? Giel van Weezel deelt zijn mening in Zorgvisie 👉 https://lnkd.in/ey6ipPtg #zorg #AI - The potential of AI in healthcare is immense, but unlocking it requires more than just technology. Healthcare faces unique barriers to productivity gains for one simple reason: the reliance on human labor and personal interactions. This can be explained in large part by an economic phenomenon known as Baumol’s cost disease. While AI has revolutionized industries like tech and manufacturing, in healthcare its promise lies in supporting—not replacing—human professionals. How can AI alleviate administrative burdens, reduce costs and empower care providers to focus on what truly matters: patient care?

It was a pleasure hosting an SER Topvrouwen Circle event two weeks ago! On November 20, over 70 top women from the Dutch business community joined us at IG&H. Aside from touring the GenAI Experience Center, they were inspired by two speakers: Annemarie Peijnenborgh, Head of Global Business Services at Marel on Digital Transformation and Kristel Lanjouw, Head of Data & AI at IG&H on Generative AI. Of course, the day wouldn’t have been complete without a fun prompting exercise 😉 A female and efficient work environment apparently includes a lot of cats, check out the image below. SER stands for the Sociaal-Economische Raad (SER) or the Socio-Economic Council. With these Circle events, they offer a platform for in-depth exploration of relevant themes and encourage connections between Top Women, aimed at mutual support and inspiration. This initiative contributes to their mission: more women at the top of Dutch business.

What an incredible day at Caseday November 2024! 🎉 We came together to tackle a real-world challenge for Blue Sky Group, focusing on how to improve the pension transition experience under the new Wet Toekomst Pensioenen (WTP) law. The goal? Reduce incoming calls, streamline communication and proactively support customers during a time of major change.   The teams dove into the challenge with creativity, passion and a strong focus on user-centered design. It was amazing to see designers, developers and consultants collaborate so seamlessly, using their diverse skills to come up with innovative solutions.   A huge thank you to BSG – especially Luuk V. and Remco Schoonen – for trusting us with this challenge and providing the valuable insights that shaped the day. Your partnership was key to helping us find meaningful solutions.   And to the organizing team – Jeroen van Kleinwee, Jara de Swart, Bernardo Melo, João Mendonça, Marit H., Jeroen van Heteren, Eva Sleeking, Zola Zwerver and Luna de Fauw – thank you for making this event run smoothly and for creating an atmosphere where everyone could thrive.   The day may be over, but the ideas and inspiration we generated will continue to drive innovation. Can't wait to see where we go from here! 🚀   #Innovation #DigitalSolutions #Pensions #DesignThinking

Black Friday: Here to stay or time to go away? Black Friday is a balancing act between increased traffic and revenues versus staff strain, overloaded websites and systems, severe margin hits... and utter chaos. For some retailers, the drawbacks of Black Friday outweigh the benefits. "Personally, I’m not a fan of Black Friday—it shouldn’t exist in its current form," says Kristel Lanjouw, Head of Data & AI at IG&H, “Retailers are stuck in a prisoner's dilemma: if competitors participate, they can’t afford not to.” How can retailers balance competitiveness with smarter discounts? Or even rethink Black Friday as a concept? Find the answer 👉 https://lnkd.in/euVYPTEV #blackfriday #retail

(English below) Internationale spelers en Pan-europese ambities op de Nederlandse verzekeringsmarkt? Terwijl protectionisme de kop opsteekt in Europa en de Verenigde Staten, speelt zich in de verzekeringsmarkt een tegengesteld fenomeen af: internationalisering.
