Best Risk Management Offerings
S2P is a company that specializes in healthcare and infectious-disease risk-management solutions. Their innovative offerings are designed to keep people safe and organizations productive by preventing, mitigating, and controlling the spread of infectious diseases. They provide comprehensive and advanced data-driven, intelligence-driven infectious disease safety programs to businesses, government agencies, schools, and healthcare providers.
The main objective of S2P is to empower their clients by protecting their employees and families from infectious diseases, avoiding lockdowns, maintaining productivity by preventing loss of work hours, and demonstrating their clients’ focus on workplace health risk management. By doing so, S2P helps their clients prevent disease outbreaks and minimize their impact, enabling them to operate effectively and safely in today’s challenging environment.
Former US FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner and COO and former Harvard faculty member Dr. John Norris, JD, MBA, founded S2P for the express purpose of preventing deaths and other harms to workers and their families from infectious diseases, such as COVID-19 and its variants. “I believe that by the end of this decade, S2P’s Infectious Disease Safety Program will be as ubiquitous worldwide as Fire Safety Programs are now,” says Dr. John Norris.
Shared Passion for Saving Lives
S2P and its Team Members share a common passion for safeguarding lives and preventing harm caused by infectious diseases. The company’s culture of innovation and integrity is maintained by recruiting highly skilled and reputable individuals who are committed to using their expertise to support this mission. Every week at team meetings, members renew their pledge to this cause through their actions. S2P places high value on safety and has developed a new standard for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, which offers best practices for organizations preparing for and responding to pandemics and related disasters. To ensure continued success, S2P recognizes the importance of innovation in enhancing its solutions and services. “We shall strive to always be creative because today’s technology = yesterday’s magic = tomorrow’s given,” says Haden Land.
Furthermore, the company’s strong moral principles are rooted in its core value of always doing what’s right. The S2P Advisory Board is an excellent portrayal of these principles.
Leading with a solution-oriented perspective
Throughout his career, Haden has established himself as a problem solver, adept at resolving complex challenges both domestically and internationally. He has demonstrated his skills in technology and engineering implementation, research and development innovation, as well as leadership and management excellence.
After being approached by S2P’s Founder and Executive Chairman, Haden joined the company’s Advisory Board during his part-time retirement in Florida. Within six months, Haden had achieved several notable accomplishments, leading to an offer to serve as the CEO and CTO of S2P.
As the CEO of S2P, Haden believes that the company’s continued growth as a healthcare leader hinges on three critical factors. First and foremost, he is passionate about what he does and the impact that it has on others. Second, he places a greater emphasis on listening than talking and strives to understand how complex problems can be solved. Third, he surrounds himself with talented, intelligent, and thoughtful individuals who can inform, guide, and challenge him in his leadership role.
Haden has observed that some of today’s leaders lack certain qualities that are essential for success, such as establishing a clear global perspective on opportunities and challenges. He believes in taking an inside-out and outside-in approach to addressing a problem simultaneously. Moreover, he thinks that it is crucial to take a moment to assess the day’s efforts and identify areas for improvement to do better tomorrow.
Haden finds S2P’s vision, mission, and objectives inspiring, and he believes they are vital not only for the nation but for the entire world. While he acknowledges the road ahead may not be easy, he is confident that the strategic action plan defined by the team will lead to another success story for S2P.
Expanding Reach to Serve Growing Client Base
Haden envisions S2P as the leading market player in reducing the risk of infectious diseases and promoting overall health and wellness for individuals, colleagues, and organizations. To achieve this goal, S2P has launched its customer beta and value stream mapping program in the U.S. and India, aimed at optimizing its existing system capabilities to offer a market-proven solution by early 2Q2023. “S2P is very pleased to be working with Global Tree, Capitol Technology University, and Potsdam University to further enhance our market ready solution,” says Haden Land.
“Global Tree is pleased to provide their company expertise for the enhancement and optimization of the S2P IDMS,” says Srikar Alapati, Founder & MD of Global Tree.
Currently, S2P has a strong presence in the U.S. and India with future focus being in Japan, and South Korea, but with established reseller networks in all these locations. The company is also exploring partnership opportunities with a renowned global systems integrator that operates in over fifty countries.
In addition, S2P is collaborating with key partners to increase brand visibility through innovative marketing strategies, develop educational pathways for pandemic preparedness and response, and expand its offerings to include a community portal and a pandemic safety standard.
S2P is committed to advertising campaigns that are focused on their targeted markets. “HBC is honored to be part of S2P’s dynamic team that represents the best in expertise to help drive global enterprise health and wellness standards forward. We are creating content to show organizations how simple and crucial it is to utilize S2P’s revolutionary platform, so they can gain back control while strengthening their operational integrity protocols,” says J Kyle Moyer, Founder & Owner, HyperBrand Creative, Ltd.
S2P has created a strategic alliance with Capitol Technology University (Capitol Tech) to promote opportunities for education and careers in emergency preparedness and response. “Capitol Tech is focused on providing education for the future workforce. The partnership with S2P provides us with an opportunity to work with professionals in this critically needed emerging field,” says Dr. Bradford Sims, President of Capitol Technology University.
S2P is increasing its collaboration with its development partner, DICORP, they have been exceptional in working with the company to continually enhance its offering, and S2P is in the process of fielding its community engagement solution for its growing client base. “DICORP is proud to be integrating S2P’s advanced and unique insights, ideas, and plans for world-class infectious disease risk management with our SaaS tool suite. We are very pleased to expand our collaboration on preparedness and wellness in support of S2P’s market growth”, adds John Kutcher, CEO of DICORP.
Insights on Industry Developments
The healthcare industry has undergone significant changes over the past few decades, largely driven by the widespread application of digital technology and advances in genetics. S2P’s Founder & Executive Chairman, Dr. John Norris, has been a leading figure in several of these areas, including co-leading efforts to create and promote the use of IT in significant surgeries, improve medical record keeping, and utilize medical record data to direct and enhance patient care at the bedside.
S2P represents another pioneering effort that aims to further enhance healthcare and wellness on a global scale through the utilization of technology. Haden and the team at S2P believe that this innovative platform will play a crucial role in advancing the breadth and depth of technological contributions to healthcare and wellness in the US and beyond.
