Smo
SMO is de denktank voor Nederland sinds 1968. De stichting stelt zich ten doel de dialoog tussen bedrijfsleven en samenleving te initiëren en te stimuleren. SMO vertaalt inzichten uit wetenschappelijk onderzoek en expertise uit het bedrijfsleven naar begrijpelijke en goed toepasbare informatie. SMO beschikt over diverse instrumenten die zij kan inzetten bij het verspreiden van inzichten, kennis en ervaringen. Deze kennis kan bijdragen aan een onderbouwde adressering van zowel huidige als toekomstige vraagstukken. Naast deze verspreiding van kennis, bevordert en faciliteert SMO ook de ontwikkeling van nieuwe inzichten. Het inzetten van deze instrumenten en haar eigen netwerk stelt SMO in staat ondernemingen te attenderen op kansen en bedreigingen als gevolg van een veranderende context. De academische waarden en expertise die hierbij centraal staan worden bewaakt door het bestuur en het curatorium van SMO.

De Zorgambassade
Wij brengen verschillende spelers uit het zorglandschap bijeen in een denk- en doetank om samen concrete barrières in het zorglandschap weg te nemen door concrete en schaalbare oplossingen te vinden en te implementeren. Onze overtuiging is dat uiteindelijk elke speler in het zorglandschap de beste zorg wil bieden voor de Nederlandse patiënten. Om dit te bereiken moet er meer samenwerking komen, moet kennis gedeeld worden en moeten we samen de schouders zetten onder de meest complexe problematiek. De deelnemers worden Zorgambassadeurs, en creëren vervolgens een langdurig netwerk van zorgverbeteraars, van professionals die weten hoe het beter kan en zich daar samen voor blijven inzetten. Op die manier wordt de zorg in Nederland toekomstbestendig.
