Ms. McFee’s current research focuses on the use of expertise in teams and the contexts and processes that support or undermine groups’ ability to solve complex problems. She is co‐author with Bruce Warren and Susan Sampson of “Business Schools: Ethics, Assurance of Learning and the Future” in Organization Management Journal and has also co‐authored numerous cases and teaching notes. Ms. McFee teaches for the Princeton Review and is an undergraduate admissions consultant.

Michael D. McGinnis, PhD (Political Science), is Principal Investigator and Director of Managing the Health Commons, a project of ReThink Health. A Professor of Political Science, he is Director of the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University, Bloomington, an inter-disciplinary research and teaching center focused on the study of institutions, development, and governance. A globally recognized center for institutional analysis, the Workshop was initially established in 1973 by Vincent and Elinor Ostrom. Its continuing importance was dramatically recognized when Elinor Ostrom was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. Professor McGinnis’ current research focuses on the ways in which health care policy in the U.S. can be improved through increased collaboration among stakeholders at the community or regional level, rather than relying on reforms at national or state levels. Professor McGinnis received a BS in mathematics from The Ohio State University in 1980 and a PhD in Political Science from The University of Minnesota in 1985 and has worked at IU ever since.

Bobby Milstein, PhD, MPH, is Director of ReThink Health Dynamics, a project of ReThink Health, and Director of Systems Strategy and Programs for the Fannie E. Rippel Foundation. Dr. Milstein leads the ReThink Health Dynamics data-based model and game project that is working with regions and leaders across the country to develop interactive simulations that explore the likely impact of policy interventions on health outcomes and costs. He created the Hygeia Dynamics Policy Studio to provide a forum for diverse actors to acquire the foresight and motivation needed to craft powerful responses to pressing priorities and is also a visiting scientist at the MIT Sloan School of Management. From 1991 to 2011, Dr. Milstein worked at the CDC where he founded the Syndemics Prevention Network, chaired the agency’s Behavioral and Social Science Working Group, and was coordinator for a wide range of new initiatives. He was the principal architect of the CDC’s framework for program evaluation and published a monograph entitled, Hygeia’s Constellation: Navigating Health Futures in a Dynamic and Democratic World, recommended as “required reading for all health professionals.” Dr. Milstein is a co-founder of the annual NIH-CDC Institute on Systems Science and Health, and a co-developer of the HealthBound Policy Simulation Game as well as the Prevention Impacts Simulation Model.

Karen Minyard, MSN, PhD, leads the evaluation efforts for ReThink Health Dynamics, a project of ReThink Health. Dr. Minyard has directed the Georgia Health Policy Center at Georgia State University’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies since 2001. Dr. Minyard connects the research, policy, and programmatic work of the center across issue areas including: community and public health, end of life care, child health, health philanthropy, public and private health coverage, and the uninsured.

Prior to his work at Dartmouth, he spent 35 years on the Harvard Medical School faculty and on the staff of Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was the founding Chief of the General Medicine Division and Director of the Medical Practices Evaluation Center. Dr. Mulley’s research has focused on the use of decision theory and outcomes research to distinguish between warranted and unwarranted variations in clinical practice which has led to development of research instruments and approaches that support clinicians and patients in their decision-making roles. He was a founding Director of the Foundation for Informed Medical Decision Making and continues to serve as Senior Clinical Advisor. Dr. Mulley received his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College. He earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School and an MPP from the Kennedy School of Government.

Jay Ogilvy, PhD, a founding member of ReThink Health, is cofounder of Global Business Network and former Dean at Presidio Graduate School.

He has pursued these interests in collaboration with Peter Schwartz since 1979, when he joined SRI International, and since 1988 with GBN. At SRI, Dr. Olgilvy divided his time between developing future scenarios for strategic planning and serving as director of research for the Values and Lifestyles (VALS) Program, a consumer segmentation system used in market research.
