About this eTextbook
Traditional strategic planning too often results in incremental change focused more on next year's budget than on creative growth and sustainable development. Leadership teams struggle to “paint with two brushes”: building in transformative change while maintaining current operations. To transcend existing systems and achieve their organization's unique vision, healthcare leaders must embrace uncertainty and incorporate flexibility into their long-term planning.
They must prepare for a range of potential futures—while maintaining current operations—because agility and adaptability are what will define future success. Transformative Planning: How Your Healthcare Organization Can Strategize for an Uncertain Future explains how leadership teams can lay the groundwork for new, transformational healthcare delivery models while simultaneously meeting the requirements of today. Author Jim Austin shares the essential frameworks, tools, and processes for developing and implementing long-term strategic and execution plans that embrace uncertainty.
The book's four-step model for transformational change covers: Mental models, decision making, and decision trapsVision and strategic prioritiesStrategy development and scenario planningExecution framework Leadership teams and governing boards at healthcare organizations of all kinds will find Transformative Planning to be an essential guide to planning strategically for today and tomorrow.
