Presentation Abstract

This presentation is about opportunity management, identifying the driving forces of predictable change, driving growth strategies from the inside out, and taking control of the future of healthcare.

Accelerating growth in a changing environment requires a new way of thinking about overcoming obstacles and acting on new opportunities. We are standing at the base of a mountain of technology-driven change. Wireless telemedicine, point-of-care transactions, e-enabled disease management, home diagnostics, the virtual hospital, e-enabled customer choice, e-enabled assisted living, e-communities of practice, just-in-time training, and procurement service providers are just a few of the many areas that can be used to accelerate a positive transformation in healthcare.
 
Understanding the new opportunities that will result is essential in determining a clear course of action.  All too often, change that impacts any area of healthcare comes from the outside in, forcing us to react by slipping into a crisis management mode, and putting out fires.  Strategies based on uncertainty and hope carry high levels of risk.  Strategies based on certainty dramatically reduce risk and produce superior results. Strategic foresight takes your vision to a new actionable level by adding the events that will happen in the future. 

Understanding the new opportunities that will result in healthcare is essential in developing innovative practices that will allow both client and consultant members to take advantage and grow their businesses.
