12 Seventh Edition Marquis Who’s Who INSIGHT MICHAEL LAM Art Consultant Vision Art Media New York, NY http://marquismillennium.com/11th_Ed/michael-lam/34/ How have you navigated disruptions in your industry to remain a top professional? Amid challenging times, I've dedicated myself to uplifting people and adding vibrancy to the community through the power of art. Over the years, I orchestrated a unique online event and exhibition to spread joy and inspiration. What are two key behaviors/personality traits that allow you to be effective in your role? I believe a creator should prioritize not just monetary gain but also uphold positive values. Nowadays, the emphasis is on mutual benefit: ensuring that all parties involved, including oneself and the company, achieve success. If there's only one winner, sustainability becomes difficult to maintain. What is the most important issue/challenge you are dealing with in your industry? Tackling the industry's complexities remains a formidable task. Everything, particularly the production and procurement of art, has become increasingly expensive, posing significant challenges for artists. How do you feel your industry has changed/evolved? I've observed a shift in people's preferences, with a declining interest in traditional art collections. Digital art has gained significant traction, indicating a broader transformation across the industry. GREG A. KREMPL, MD, FACS Professor, Department Chair The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine Oklahoma City, OK www.ouhealth.com/find-a-doctor/greg-a-krempl-md-facs/ What are two key behaviors/personality traits that allow you to be effective in your role? I am driven to do my best and to raise the bar so that those around me can achieve their best as well. What is the most important issue/challenge you are dealing with in your industry? The biggest challenge is the move toward patient-centric care and doing what provides the patient with the best experience, rather than doing what is most convenient for the staff. We are learning from those in the field of customer service and figuring out how to apply those ideas to health care. What innovations or technologies do you feel will shape the future of your industry? The biggest innovation recently was the emergence of virtual medicine. We are going to learn from this and apply the knowledge to a post-COVID-19 world. What excites you the most about your industry? The exciting thing in my field today is the same thing that inspired me in the first place, and that is impacting the lives of my patients. Having the trust of my patients and the ability to impact and improve their lives is what brought me into medicine, and at the end of the day, I go home feeling great about it.
