Idaho's Mental Healthcare providers are good people, with great knowledge and compassion. They work very hard to help patients, but the demand for Mental Healthcare in Idaho is insufficient. Statistics suggest that Idaho continues to rank in the lowest 20% of U.S. States in some mental healthcare statistics. Idahoans are stressed, and becoming more so. HyperChange in society, business and family will only make this problem worse.

The outlook is not bright. While many would hope that a significant increase in funding for Idaho Mental Healthcare might be forthcoming, the general consensus is that money will continue to be scarce. This challenge is compounded by a lack of human resources. Idaho faces real challenges in creating, attracting and keeping healthcare workers of all types.

Join us in a Town Hall meeting to discuss the problem and possible solutions. Bring your curiousity as experts in-person and remote give us hope for the future! Share your knowledge and suggestions with professionals, community members, and technologists who are committed to finding answers to Idaho's Mental Healthcare gap!

Are you an executive? Do you LOVE getting dressed and leaving your home to go to work? Do you LOVE communting to the airport to deal with crowds, hotels and the challenges of travel?

Well I don't.

About five (5) years ago, I started calculating the tremendous costs of NOT working from home. I gathered a lot of data, and when I put pencil to paper, the hard costs of just getting to work were staggering. A professional wardrobe, automobile expenses, travel expenses, and my precious time as a business leader... so much waste. Like you, I was spending many thousands of dollars every month, not working hard...just working to GET READY to work...commuting!

Not only was it silly of me to waste the time, it was the missed productivity that was the real killer. A one day trip out of town resulted in a waste of 80% of my time time. And a two day trip reduced time wasted to about 70%. Hits to my productivity were a silent but deadly

Then add in the cost to my family who missed me while I was gone, the stress dealing with travel, the challenges eating properly while with clients or employees, and the missed workouts. Ugg.

Most everyone will agree that things are "changing fast." And heads will nod when we say that there will be one hundred years of change in your next 10 years.

Of course that sounds dramatic...but what if it were true? What if we are about the experience change in an amount and a way that is really uncomfortable for most of us, and unsurvivable for some? Clearly, we all want to be in the group that "survives and thrives!"

On September 25th at the West Ada School District Training Center, 250 of Treasure Valley's finest business leaders will have a rare opportunity to explore the concept of HyperChange. You'll have amazing speakers, demostrations and content that will help your busines prepare for a world that is changing at a break-neck pace. Don't miss out...register today!

Most of us have been to a tradeshow, and while they're generally fun, they're not always valuable. What would make a tradeshow TRULY valuable?

How about an opportunity to see revolutionary concepts in business from innovative Meridian companies and beyond? An opportunity to ask questions and attend break-outs of interest to businesses of every type and size? OK, done!

And if you're one of those businesses that is an Innovator, be sure to ask us about presenting your solutions for the future at the HyperChange Business Tradeshow. This event is presented by the Meridian Chamber of Commerce, Buy Idaho, and Oviture.

Every industry is undergoing dramatic change today. The World of Sports is no exception! From the NFL to the PGA, College Sports and Amateur Sports, everything is getting a make-over. New technology, new ways to play and watch, and new rules for what's acceptable and what's not!

HyperChange is a powerful force affecting every industry, organization, and person. It's so much change that it's hard to understand, much less manage. But sports is a unifying experience! The Future of Sports will be great if those that love it work hard to keep it fun, friendly, profitable and sustainable.

After attending this event, we're sure you'll agree that the the Future of Sports is bright. Most importantly, sports is going to receive increased recognition as a critical part of a healthy society. Why? Because more people are stressed today than ever. And sports at its roots, is play...and play is good medicine for people everywhere!

In March of 2023, Oviture conducted over thirty (30) interviews of Idaho Innovators, as a part of the Buy Idaho Capitol Show. Interviewees were from all over Idaho.

Each interviewee was asked the same three (3) questions...

What's the biggest challenge facing Idaho?
What is YOUR business doing that is innovative?
Can you tell us about another Idaho Innovator you admire?


We had a GREAT time, and more importantly, we learned alot. So we've decided to continue the interviews. On Thursday 9/28/2023, we'll be conducting some very fun (and unusual) InnoViews (that's what we call an interview!). We'll livestream of course. More information soon!

On 9/21, we had a great livestream event. The underlying goal was to understand how technology and other solutions might be creatively used to bridge the Idaho Mental Healthcare Gap. Presenters helped the audience...

-- understand current data and statistics for Idaho's Mental Healthcare System.
-- explore different areas that technology can be used by practitioners / patients / employers
-- consider who should be part of the discussion on an ongoing basis

On 10/11 we'll...

-- recap the 9/21 event
-- hear from three great experts with mental health technology solutions
-- listen to a panel about how we can work better together

A boxed lunch will be available!
