How Do We Consult with Health Care Organizations to Help Them
Improve, and What Results Can You Expect?



How Do We Consult with Health Care Organizations?


When we work with an organization, we do it with a view of the complex individuals that make up that organization.  This is particularly important with health systems, as the people in the group - and the nature of the work - create the complexity that can make change so difficult.

Generally, our consulting work with health systems focuses on taking the organizations where they currently are – often reactive and slow to change – and giving the physician executives the tools they need to begin to move the system to where it needs to be … responsive, adaptive to change, and focused on innovative thinking.   We do this within the context of current or planned organizational initiatives, via on-site consulting programs where we work to assess how well the organization is doing in key agility areas and then implement a plan to “upgrade” the group to where they need to be.


How Do We Help Organizations Improve?


Our approach is based on what we know works with organizations of any kind:  the delivery of a structured, time-bound consulting program that addresses each group’s unique needs.

Typically, individuals managing or leading health organizations may approach us for the following reasons:

  • They are tasked with implementing a new initiative in separate or disconnected sites, and need to bring their physician leaders together at each location to work together in a coordinated way
  • They are tasked with rolling out a new program with a staff or workforce that has traditionally been kept "out of the loop" or has not been involved in the strategic planning, and they are anticipating resistance
  • They need to build a higher level of responsiveness and flexibility in their groups, in anticipation of a new program or initiative on the horizon
  • They recognize the need for "Agility", and want to implement a strategic plan to enhance this competency in their group

In our organizational  work, we typically work with groups via  a 4-step Consulting Program that helps you to accomplish the following:

  • Assess your group’s overall “Agility Rating”, and identify key barriers that are impacting your ability to adapt to change
  • Get your key stakeholders educated/trained on the process of building agility and your group’s readiness for change
  • Develop your unique strategy and action plan to meet your goals
  • Implement your defined “agility” actions

As part of our Health Organization Consulting work, we  also offer 1-day Workshops that target small groups of Physician Leaders (typically 6-10).  Here we dive into the key concepts around building Agility in your health organizations, and create individualized strategies for each group.


We also conduct Speaking Engagements and Lectures, on topics related (but not limited) to:

  • Managing Change in Your Health Organization
  • Leveraging Complexity in Your Organization
  • Dealing With “Resistance” From Your Front-Line Staff
  • Building Expert Change Competencies
  • Becoming a Strategic Communicator


Results You Can Expect from Health Organization Consulting:


For your health organization, via in-house delivery of a specialized consulting programs or workshops, you can expect the following:

  • You can expect a thorough assessment of where your organization is “at”, and a clear definition of the unique characteristics of your group that impacts their “readiness” for change
  • You can expect action plans based on upgrading your health systems from where they are currently to where they need to be to keep competitive edge
  • You can expect structured, evidence-based approaches to organizational change based in the unique needs, goals and complexities of your health system
  • You can expect expert education, advice and solutions based on rigorous augmentation of corporate-based methodologies for complex health care issues and environments
