  • Today’s workforce and consumers expect corporations to stay responsive and forward-thinking, echoing voter sentiment in the 2024 US Presidential Election
  • The Election outcome highlights the risks for healthcare and MedTech firms that remain attached to outdated practices in fast-changing markets

A Wake-Up Call for US Corporations in Fast-Changing Industries

Donald Trump's victory in the November 2024 US Presidential Election suggests lessons - not only for the political sphere but also for corporate leaders, particularly in fast-changing sectors like healthcare and MedTech. While a range of factors contributed to the former president's decisive win, this Commentary focuses on a few themes that stand out for their relevance to business: the weight of legacy issues, the disconnect between leaders and their broader constituencies, and the perils of overconfidence and resistance to change. By addressing core concerns like inflation, economic security, and future opportunities, Trump’s platform resonated with voter priorities, highlighting a gap between traditional leaders and the public. This shift underscores the risks faced by established institutions, both political and corporate, when they fail to respond to legitimate concerns and adapt to dynamic environments.

Much like the political elites, corporate leadership in healthcare and MedTech - especially within conservative firms - risks being disconnected from the shifts of their industry and workforce. In these sectors, rapid innovation and changing market demands are reshaping the landscape. Yet a significant proportion of large companies remain anchored to legacy products and structures, headed by leadership teams largely comprised of US-based senior executives many of whom are nearing retirement. These digital migrants, whose careers were well established before digitalisation, may lack fluency in the latest technological advancements and market shifts, risking a strategic blind spot that leaves them vulnerable to more agile and innovative competitors. Drawing a parallel between the political and corporate worlds, it seems reasonable to suggest that ignoring changing demographics, employee needs, and technological trends introduces risks for corporations just as it does for political entities.

 
In this Commentary

This Commentary highlights how Donald Trump's 2024 Presidential election win serves as a cautionary tale for corporate leaders, especially in fast-evolving sectors like healthcare and MedTech. By drawing parallels between political and corporate spheres, it emphasises the risks for established firms that are slow to adapt to rapid changes in technology, market demands, regulations, and workforce expectations. Through analysis of healthcare trends and leadership dynamics, it provides insights on fostering adaptability, inclusivity, and a forward-thinking culture to stay competitive.
 
Legacy Leadership and the Risks of Inertia in a Fast-Paced Industry

Healthcare and MedTech, more so than many other sectors, are undergoing rapid and transformative changes driven by advancements in biomedical science, artificial intelligence (AI), value-based healthcare, and shifts in care delivery models. New technologies such as AI, machine learning, telehealth, and remote monitoring are driving innovation, as are changing consumer preferences and a growing emphasis on preventive care and patient-centred models. For traditional firms, adapting to these trends is challenging, and demands a readiness to embrace both internal and external changes swiftly and effectively.

Many large MedTech corporations are led by well-established leadership teams composed primarily of American males many of whom have established careers in a more predictable, slower-paced environment. These leaders, often digital immigrants, may lack the skills and cultural agility needed to navigate today’s digital-first landscape. In an industry where start-ups and smaller, more agile companies are increasingly setting the pace, being overly reliant on legacy products and markets and slow to innovate can create significant vulnerabilities.

Just as US voters in November 2024 demonstrated a desire for change by voting for populist policies, there is a growing segment within healthcare and MedTech firms - ranging from early-career employees to mid-level managers - who may feel left behind by leadership that appears out of touch. Such employees may feel that their aspirations, frustrations, and innovative ideas are overlooked, resulting in disillusionment that ultimately stifles creativity and limits the company’s ability to innovate.
 
Misalignment with Market Realities and Employee Expectations

Much like the dissonance between voter priorities and political platforms that played a role in the 2024 American Presidential election, traditional healthcare leaders face the risk of alienating their workforce by not aligning with their evolving expectations. Today’s employees seek flexibility, inclusivity, and growth opportunities, yet many corporate hierarchies remain anchored to legacy mindsets, appearing resistant to the innovation employees value. Amidst inflation, economic pressures, and a rapidly changing healthcare landscape, there is an expectation for companies to prioritise meaningful, sustainable changes over unwavering adherence to past practices.

Such a disconnect can lead to disengagement among skilled and innovative team members who feel side-lined in decision-making processes. In an era where top talent is essential to maintain competitive advantage, traditional corporations must cultivate an inclusive, agile, and future-oriented culture. Failing to address these demands risks losing valuable talent and diminishing the company’s ability to remain competitive.

 
Strategic Blind Spots: The Cost of Ignoring Innovation

Another parallel between the political and corporate spheres lies in the risk of overconfidence in legacy strategies. Just as political analysts underestimated the former President's appeal by relying on inadequate polling methodologies, traditional healthcare companies often misjudge market shifts by relying on legacy product lines and ignoring emerging trends. Such overconfidence in established offerings and processes can be costly in healthcare, where technology-driven innovation has opened new avenues for preventive care, personalised medicine, and outpatient services.

Firms that fail to recognise these shifts risk being blindsided by competitors who are more attuned to the demands of modern consumers. Smaller, more innovative firms are seizing opportunities in areas such as digital health, telemedicine, and wearable technology - offering patients and providers new ways to manage health conditions. These firms are not bound by legacy structures or outdated decision-making processes, allowing them to respond quickly to emerging trends and customer needs.

The trend toward outpatient services and home healthcare is especially significant. As healthcare delivery moves increasingly out of hospitals and into homes and community centres, traditional healthcare companies must rethink their approach to service delivery. A company that remains fixated on hospital-based care or physical products while ignoring digital health services or home-based solutions risks missing the next wave of healthcare innovation.

 
Embracing Change to Bridge the Divide

Trump’s 2024 victory draws attention to the risks of remaining wedded to the past. In his campaign, he demonstrated an ability to connect with voters by focusing on practical solutions to their everyday concerns. Healthcare corporations should consider adopting a similar approach by investing in solutions and services that address the needs of patients and employees. This could involve not only expanding product lines to include digital health tools and preventive care but also restructuring the organisation to make it more agile and responsive.

For corporate leaders, the takeaway is clear: organisations must prioritise responsiveness and agility over rigid adherence to traditional methods. Just as Trump’s victory revealed the risks of political elites being out of touch with public sentiment, corporate leaders risk alienating their workforce and missing growth opportunities by ignoring employee concerns and market trends.

 
Building a Culture of Inclusivity and Innovation
 
In a dynamic healthcare and MedTech landscape, companies need more than just technical expertise and financial acumen to stay competitive; they must foster a culture that values inclusivity, adaptability, and continuous learning. Just as well funded political institutions can lose touch with the needs and concerns of their constituents, corporate leaders risk disconnecting from the aspirations and behaviours of their employees and patients. By aligning more closely with different voices across the organisation - particularly younger, diverse employees and those with digital expertise - companies can tap into a broader spectrum of ideas, unlocking innovation that reinforces their market position.

To achieve this alignment, leaders should actively seek input from employees at all levels, appreciating that crucial insights often emerge from minority voices. This inclusive strategy not only drives engagement and fosters a culture of innovation but also positions the organisation to respond more effectively to both employee and patient needs.
 
The Path Forward: Adaptation as a Core Strategy

The lessons from the American 2024 Election suggest that political and corporate leaders alike must adapt to rapidly changing demographics and expectations. For healthcare and MedTech firms, this means developing strategies that are not only grounded in today’s market realities but also flexible enough to evolve as those realities change.

Adaptation in the healthcare sector could involve investment in new technologies, partnerships with innovative start-ups, and a willingness to experiment with new business models. Companies that can pivot to meet new demands - whether through expanding digital health capabilities, embracing remote monitoring, or exploring personalised medicine - will be better positioned to succeed in a rapidly changing market.

 
Takeaways

The 2024 US Presidential Election results suggest a lesson for corporate leaders: in a fast-paced world, adaptability and responsiveness are key to staying relevant. Just as political leaders risk losing public trust by holding onto past ideas, corporations that resist change undermine their competitive edge and risk alienating both employees and customers. For healthcare and MedTech companies especially, the path forward requires a commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and real-world impact, ensuring resilience in an era defined by continuous transformation.

The stakes are clear: just as political leaders risk losing public confidence by holding onto outdated platforms, companies that cling to legacy practices risk losing valuable talent and market share. Ultimately, the parallel between politics and business underlines a truth: in a world of change, the only sustainable strategy is a commitment to evolution.
