Agency is the Power to Act | CMS Book Club Live at #IMSH2026

Agency is the Power to Act | CMS Book Club Live at #IMSH2026 Roxane Gardner and Grace Ng react to Shawn Kanungo’s keynote talk on innovation at #IMSH2026. Watch here: https://youtu.be/tbUfYHhM3kE Roxane and Grace both felt that the content of the talk was surprisingly supportive, especially for an ‘innovator’ who was speaking about the role of AI in the changing industry. Much in the way that we talk at CMS about not imposing simulation from the top down as a prepackaged education solution, but instead partnering with teams to learn what they need to help them feel ready and then using simulation as a tool among many to get them there, Shawn helped to position agentic and generative AI in the same way. Grace was pleased to hear the discussion of agency, and tools that empower people to do things rather than replacing them—her PhD work on nursing agency and how nurses can be empowered to activate rapid response teams, and that seemed very relevant to the moment as we figure out how these tools will shape our work.
