Spear 2010 Speaker Profile Steve Spear, senior lecturer at MIT and senior fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, is internationally recognized as an expert in innovation, operational excellence, and organizational learning, with deep experience in industry and health care. His reputation stems from award winning articles such as Harvard Business Review’s "Decoding the DNA of the Toyota Production System" and "Fixing Healthcare from the Inside, Today," and his critically acclaimed and prize winning book Chasing the Rabbit: How Market Leaders Outdistance the Competition. Spear focuses on creating organizational capacity for high speed, broad based, improvement and innovation. He has both studied already outstanding organizations and has also helped ordinary organizations become outstanding. Along those lines he helped create the Alcoa Business System and the Perfecting Patient Care System used by hospitals in Pittsburgh, and his work was the foundation for Pratt and Whitney’s Engineering Standard Work for jet engine design. All are credited with marked increases in quality and capacity and reductions in cost. His publications have appeared in Harvard Business Review, Annals of Internal Medicine, Academic Medicine, the New York Times, and the Boston Globe. Awards for his writing include five Shingo Research Prizes, a McKinsey Award from HBR, and a USA Books National Business Book Award. Spear received his doctorate from Harvard Business School, masters of science in Mechanical Engineering and in Management from MIT, and his bachelors degree with a concentration in Economics from Princeton University.
