Why Corporations Are Turning to Digital Accelerators For Leadership & InnovationHugh MASON
JFDI.Asia was SE Asia's first startup accelerator but, since 2012, corporations have been knocking on the door asking how they can innovate alongside startups too. Their needs are both chronic and complex, and there are potential benefits to both sides. But finding the right way to engage will require leaders to 'take the red pill' of risk and uncertainty, JFDI CEO Hugh Mason explained at the NUS Digital Leadership and Innovation Conference.
In this Closer Look, we examine the tensions between corporate culture, financial incentives, and employee conduct as illustrated by the Wells Fargo cross-selling scandal. In 2016, Wells Fargo admitted that employees had opened as many as 2 million accounts without customer authorization over a five-year period. We discuss the factors that contributed to the scandal, the repercussions for the bank, and its response.
We ask:
• How did the company’s incentive system contribute to the scandal?
• Would the system have worked better if coupled with additional metrics or controls?
• What systems should have been put in place to identify and escalate potential problems earlier?
• What steps should senior management have taken to better contain the fallout?
• Is an inside or outside CEO successor better positioned to help the bank recover?
• How do you maximize the positive contribution that incentives make to culture while minimizing potentially negative outcomes?

This comprehensive report delves into the market dynamics, recent trends, drivers, competitive landscape, and benefits of the research report, providing a detailed analysis of the India Diagnostic Labs Market.
Collaborations and Partnerships
Collaborations and partnerships among leading companies play a pivotal role in driving the growth of the India Diagnostic Labs Market. These strategic alliances allow companies to merge their expertise, strengthen their market positions, and offer innovative solutions. By combining resources, companies can enhance their research and development capabilities, expand their product portfolios, and improve their distribution networks.

Expansion of Diagnostic Chains
The expansion of diagnostic chains is a driving force behind the growing demand for diagnostic lab services. Diagnostic chains often establish multiple laboratories and diagnostic centers in various cities and regions, including urban and rural areas. This expanded network makes diagnostic services more accessible to a larger portion of the population, addressing healthcare disparities and reaching underserved populations. The presence of diagnostic chain facilities in multiple locations within a city or region provides convenience for patients, reducing travel time and effort. A broader network of labs often leads to reduced waiting times for appointments and sample collection, ensuring that patients receive timely and efficient diagnostic services.
Rising Prevalence of Chronic Diseases
The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is a significant driver for the demand for diagnostic lab services. Chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer require regular monitoring and diagnostic testing for effective management. The rise in chronic diseases necessitates the use of advanced diagnostic tools and technologies, driving the growth of the diagnostic labs market. Additionally, early diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial for managing chronic diseases, further boosting the demand for diagnostic lab services.
