We are living through a turbulent time—so chaotic that we call this period the Fog of Change—competing, polarizing voices that constrain progress.We step into this breach with my conversation with Jeremy Engels, Penn State professor of communication and a scholar of the Declaration of Independence.He gives us a framework to shift the dialogue from contention to understanding. He teaches these concepts to Gen-Z students. We should all take note and follow these principles. It is our responsibility to find the path forward. We can’t do so until we reframe our dialogue.Jeremy's book, "On Mindful Democracy: A Declaration of Interdependence to Mend a Fractured World," is available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4gRoyI6 (https://amzn.to/4gRoyI6)To learn more about Jeremy and his work, visit: https://jeremydavidengels.com (https://jeremydavidengels.com) Navigating The Fog of Change™ is presented by Sage Partners.

MedTech: Navigating the Fog of Change™ with Glenn Snyder and Bernie Haffey
MedTech: Navigating the Fog of Change™
Few industries are experiencing more rapid and consequential change than healthcare. Advances in AI, robotics, diagnostics, personalized medicine, regulation, and reimbursement are reshaping the MedTech landscape at unprecedented speed.
In this episode of Navigating the Fog of Change™, we explore how MedTech leaders can thrive in this environment rather than simply react to it.
My guests are Glenn Snyder, founder and former leader of Deloitte Consulting’s MedTech practice and a board member of LarmorBio, and Bernie Haffey, who led NCO Surgical, IntraLase, and Summit through successful exits exceeding $1 billion and now serves on the boards of Medevise and On Target Laboratories. Together, they are partners at HSMG Advisors.
Our conversation focuses on two critical leadership challenges:
• How AI is becoming a powerful accelerator of MedTech innovation.
• How boards can create greater value by providing insight—not just oversight as companies navigate continuous change.
• The lessons extend well beyond healthcare. They offer a roadmap for every leader seeking to navigate today’s Fog of Change.
