Survival is Not a Strategy

In this Voices of Experience episode, Dianne Keen is joined by Kurt Schoppe, President at RANT, for an honest conversation about what radiology leaders miss when every day becomes an exercise in simply getting through the next shift. As imaging volume rises, workforce pressure intensifies, and AI dominates the conversation, Kurt argues that the biggest risk is not the noise itself. It is staying trapped in the immediate.Together, they explore why radiology’s toughest problems cannot be solved by short-term fixes alone. From burnout caused by “a thousand tiny insults” to the misapplication of AI tools that do not truly support physician workflow, Kurt lays out a more strategic path forward—one built on scenario planning, better orchestration of technology, stronger change management, and a commitment to keeping radiology decisions in radiologists’ hands.
