Momenta Partners Welcomes Leif Eriksen as Partner, Insights Team


Leif Eriksen, Partner, Insights Team

“Momenta Partners has built one of the most widely recognized brands in the Digital Industry arena.”

Momenta Partners, the leading global advisory, talent and ventures firm focused on Digital Industry, is pleased to announce the appointment of Leif Eriksen as Partner, leading their Insights team.

Leif Eriksen brings over 30 years of experience at the forefront of the use of digital technology by industrial companies. He has been at the center of every major digital technology inflection point since the 1990s. He is best known for having defined application areas such as Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence (EMI) and Asset Performance Management (APM) when he was research director at AMR Research and Gartner, respectively. Leif is as comfortable on the plant floor discussing technology – where he began his career as a young engineer in 1984 – as he is in the corporate boardroom advising senior executives on strategy.

Leif’s career has been a balance between being a practitioner deploying digital technology, being an evangelist of leading-edge products in the mobile, wireless, and industrial software arenas and being an industry analyst. He has managed project teams, developed successful go-to-market strategies for both startups and established technology companies, and advised industry executives on the business impact of relevant technology trends. An accomplished communicator and speaker, Leif has educated audiences around the world on significant technology trends and their impact on business.

Leif has had the privilege of observing first-hand the impact of digital transformation on a wide variety of industries and companies including iconic industry leaders such as GE and Motorola. He has found that, for established enterprises, digital transformation involves major shifts in how decisions are made, and the necessary change is highly disruptive to the existing organizational structure. He is excited about joining Momenta because of its focus on helping leaders, such as Chief Digital Officers, in energy, manufacturing, and smart infrastructure enterprises navigate the rocky shoals of these disruptive forces.

“Momenta Partners has built one of the most widely recognized brands in the Digital Industry arena,” Leif says. “I’m excited to join them and look forward to working with the team to deliver actionable insights to Momenta’s customers and partners.”

Leif’s own digital journey began with a degree in engineering from the University of Toronto. He launched from there into the petrochemical industry where he became an expert in the areas of instrumentation (sensors), automation, and advanced process control. After 15 years traversing the globe with his young family – including stops in St. Croix, USVI and Indonesia – he settled in the Boston area to become an industry analyst. Over the next 20 years he wore many hats including independent consultant, business development director, and corporate strategist. He is now based in Ipswich, MA on Boston’s north shore.

“We are delighted to welcome Leif to lead our expanded Insights practice,” says Ken Forster, Executive Director of Momenta Partners. “We’ve been recognized for our thought-leadership in Digital Industry and are now expanding this with deep industry insights. This will complement our practitioner-led, industry-leading advisory, talent and ventures practices, as well as support our Chief Digital Officer focus.”

Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine Announces President-Elect and New Board Member


“The Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine continues to make major strides towards improving diagnostic quality and safety in our healthcare system. I am very proud of all we have accomplished over the last year,” said David Newman-Toker, MD, PhD, President of SIDM.

The Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine (SIDM) today announced that Robert Trowbridge, MD will serve as President-Elect of the organization, becoming president when Dr. David-Newman Toker’s term ends in November 2020. In addition, SIDM announced that Ronald Wyatt, MD, MHA has joined the board of directors.

According to the 2015 NAM report, Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, missed, wrong, or delayed diagnoses are the most common, most catastrophic, and most costly of serious medical errors and affect more than 12 million Americans each year. Conservative estimates find 40,000-80,000 people die each year from diagnostic failures in U.S. hospitals alone, and that such errors affect 1 in 20 outpatient adults annually. Research released this year by SIDM found that one third (34%) of malpractice cases that result in death or permanent disability stem from an inaccurate or delayed diagnosis.

Dr. Trowbridge is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine and Director of Undergraduate Medical Curriculum at Maine Medical Center in Portland, Maine. He is a clinician-educator with expertise in teaching clinical reasoning and avoidance of diagnostic error. He has won over 20 clinical teaching awards and remains clinically active as a hospitalist. His research has centered on ways of helping to identify diagnostic errors and provide feedback to clinicians in a manner that improves diagnostic reliability with over 30 peer-reviewed publications and 20 book chapters.

“The Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine continues to make major strides towards improving diagnostic quality and safety in our healthcare system. I am very proud of all we have accomplished over the last year,” said David Newman-Toker, MD, PhD, President of SIDM and Professor of Neurology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he serves as Director of the Armstrong Institute Center for Diagnostic Excellence. “But there is a great deal more work that needs to be done to reduce the harm caused by diagnostic errors. Our mission is to catalyze and lead change to improve diagnosis and eliminate harm from diagnostic error, in partnership with patients, their families, the healthcare community and every interested stakeholder. Bob lives this mission every day in his clinical practice and his work teaching the next generation of clinicians. He is an ideal choice to serve as SIDM’s next President. SIDM will benefit greatly from having someone with his knowledge, skills, and capabilities at the helm in coming years, and I look forward to working side-by-side with him to achieve the mission.”

In addition to Trowbridge’s new role as President-Elect, the SIDM Board announced its newest member, Dr. Ronald Wyatt.

Dr. Wyatt is Chief Quality Officer at Cook County Health, one of the largest public health systems in the United States. He was previously Chief Quality Officer at the Hamad Medical Corporation, as well as Medical Director of the Hamad Health Quality Institute, reporting to the Minister of Health for Qatar. He was the executive sponsor of the IHI/Qatar national patient safety collaborative that established the Qatar national patient safety Initiative. In 2010, Ron served as Director of the Patient Safety Analysis Center in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), now the Defense Health Agency (DHA), where he was responsible for establishing and maintaining patient safety registries that include clinical, root cause analyses and failure mode and effects analyses data on adverse events at over 60 military health facilities, both in the U.S. and abroad. While at the Department of Defense, he co-directed the Partnership for Patients initiative and served as Chair of the Readmissions Workgroup and led the development of the Sentinel Event Watch and the Data Pulse publications.

In 2016, Dr. Wyatt was appointed as the first Patient Safety Officer for the Joint Commission, where he directed the Office of Quality and Patient Safety, established a patient safety fellowship and was a contributor to the Joint Commission Sentinel Event Alerts and the National Patient Safety Goals. While at The Joint Commission, Dr. Wyatt co-chaired the first health equity leadership forum and he has contributed to multiple publications on Health Equity, work place violence prevention, racial bias and implicit bias as patient safety issues.

“Dr. Wyatt’s experience as part of a large health systems both in the U.S. and abroad will help the SIDM Board immensely, particularly as we develop targeted approaches to reducing diagnostic errors in hospitals and health systems,” added Newman-Toker. “Reaching C-Suite leadership, such as that of Dr. Wyatt, is fundamental to any success we could have in improving diagnostic quality and safety for our patients.”

About the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine (SIDM)

The Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine catalyzes and leads change to improve diagnosis and eliminate harm from diagnostic error. We work in partnership with patients, their families, the healthcare community and every interested stakeholder. SIDM is the only organization focused solely on the problem of diagnostic error and improving the accuracy and timeliness of diagnosis. In 2015, SIDM established the Coalition to Improve Diagnosis to increase awareness and actions that improve diagnosis. Members of the Coalition represent hundreds of thousands of healthcare providers and patients—and the leading health organizations and government agencies involved in patient care.
