Dr Millicent Stone: Discovering, creating and delivering value

My name is Dr Millicent Stone. And I’m CEO and co-founder of iOWNA, a digital healthcare solution for clinicians to share patient-centric information with their patients, to enable them to have a better outcome and live longer, healthier lives.

I’m doing the Masters in Entrepreneurship programme, and the single most important, useful piece of knowledge was learning the word, value, and how to discover value for my venture, and how to create value, and how to execute to give value to my customers.

There was one thing I learned on the programme that I never had any inkling about, and that was systems. It’s taught by Jeremy Hutchison-Krupat and I found it extremely hard at the time to learn, but I put the effort in. And now I apply systems to every facet of my life not just my ventures, and it’s hugely helpful.

If you’re thinking of this programme, one of the most useful things is to understand that just because part of it is remote, it doesn’t impact at all on the experience. In fact, it’s a way of working, and a way of life in the work world now. So I think if anything, Cambridge Judge Business School have really grasped how to deliver high-quality education in a hybrid manner, face-to-face and remote. And it’s been a wonderful experience.
