The Power of CHIME Focus Groups for CIO’s:
For the CIO, participation in live focus groups at CHIME events offers four professional advantages:
Live focus groups provide a professional intimacy that virtual cannot quite replicate
Provide a direct interactive window into the minds of healthcare technology partners related to their vision and alignment with your needs as a CIO.
A form of “group therapy” for CIOs as they can hear that their peers are grappling with many of the same issues, they feel are only happening to them. Many will openly say, “I thought this was only me “!
They offer the CIO an opportunity to be an element in a co-design process as the technology partners incorporate their ideas into their go-to-market strategies. There is nothing more powerful than the voice of the customer!
