Dr. Yele Aluko Speaking Topics

  • The $1 Trillion Lever: Why Employers Will Decide Healthcare’s Future

    Unlocking the Untapped Leverage of ESI

    The U.S. health system delivers exactly what it was built to produce: fragmented access, opaque pricing, and misaligned incentives. One of the most powerful levers for change, Employer-Sponsored Insurance (ESI) represents over $1 trillion in annual spend, but is still managed as a cost center rather than a strategic asset. Drawing on his experience, Dr. Yele Aluko shows how large employers can shift from passive purchasers to active architects of value—redesigning payer relationships, enforcing accountability, and aligning incentives around measurable health outcomes.

    Key Takeaways: Employers must use their leverage to reposition ESI from HR function to enterprise strategy. Payer transformation requires outcomes-based contracting. Employers can align incentives across payers and providers by linking spend to measurable health and workforce outcomes. Data transparency and governance are essential.

  • Fixing a System Broken By Design: The Architecture of Next-Gen Health

    Fixing a system broken by design

    The current U.S. health system delivers exactly what it was built to produce: fragmented access with misaligned incentives. Drawing on his experience advising multi-hospital systems, Dr. Yele Aluko shows leaders how to redesign system architecture–from downstream emergency department flow optimization to AI governance–around systems and people, not procedures. This is a powerful, candid look at transforming the operational blueprint of care.‍

    Key Takeaways: Health systems must redesign operations, auditing data systems for bias and building inclusion into technology strategy.
