place
A Transformative Place
This unique environment is designed to forever change the way people share, learn, and peak perform as individuals and as part of a team. Within its walls, they’ll be working toward solving challenges that will help to reinvent the health and wellness space.
A Hub For Sharing Knowledge
Imagine a place that acts as a true extension of a working team. A combination of open and private spaces supports both team performance and lab-wide transparency and collaboration. A central digital display provides 100% visibility across teams. Movable walls make it possible to configure a space in a way that supports each team’s needs.
place
Rejuvenate & Recharge
Because people are a product of their environment, an outdoor park serves as the perfect spot for physical activity, a moment of relaxing among nature, and as an alternative work space. Health and wellness will not only be our focus for innovation, but it will be how we work.
Process
A Proven Process
The Health Lab’s specific methodology leverages the right experts at the right time to solve complex challenges in a collaborative environment. This process is so effective, it’s been adopted as the preferred teaching methodology at Vanderbilt University.
Process
How it All Comes Together
An ecosystem of teams: Project-dedicated core teams of The Health Lab professionals and university teams work alongside member company experts to move projects forward. When the need arises, external subject matter experts are pulled in via an extensive resource network. Along the way, work in progress is validated by customers to keep the project moving toward a solution. This proven process is what makes The Health Lab unlike any other workforce in the world.
Process
Pods of Productivity
All over The Health Lab, these teams will be dedicated to a 7-week sprint working solely on a specific challenge. This lab method of highly-focused collaboration brings teams to solutions rapidly, and more effectively.
Invaluable Key Players
Rather than a handful of people wearing multiple hats, the right minds are introduced at the right time to move the project forward.
