Many healthcare organizations approach the strategic planning process as an annual exercise that commonly yields a document with a list of predictable strategic initiatives along with updated mission and vision statements.
We define strategy as a portfolio of linked and evolving initiatives that together enhance long-term performance and marketplace value. We do not place a lot of emphasis on writing mission and vision statements - rather, we believe that debating assumptions and organization goals are the keys to preparing a cohesive set of strategic initiatives and priorities that will ultimately create the vision and ensure long-term success.
We believe the organization’s strategic plan should provide a blueprint for the future along with a framework that guides strategic decision-making. The plan should also encourage innovation and risk-taking as well as provide the tools to rapidly respond to changing market conditions, thus positioning the organization to effectively compete in today’s marketplace.
We have developed a unique strategic planning process that places emphasis on aligning with the marketplace to ensure long-term performance and competitive positioning. Our planning process utilizes a modeling exercise to evaluate various scenarios and encourage innovation to solve business and marketplace issues. We also work with our clients to ensure that the strategic plan is actively managed with accountability, focus, and the ability to respond to changing market conditions. (Click for more information)
