Our mission is to unlock the potential of our bottlenecked supply chain to increase IMPACT for suppliers and providers.
We provide executive coaching, education and advisory solutions, which drive breakthrough results for the healthcare supply chain and its leaders.
WE believe in the following:
- It's "our time" in healthcare; we are part of the most significant time in the history of this industry
- Supply chain matters; 50% of our healthcare cost structure is directly impacted by supply chain
- Providers AND suppliers are equally-important partners in the healthcare supply chain
- Providers must fundamentally transform their supply chains; function is under-invested, undervalued,misunderstood and misaligned
- Suppliers must reconsider their overall approach with the changing provider landscape; old ways won't open new doors
- People are a company's more valuable investment; process and technology are enablers
- Technical skills matter AND our industry must continue to invest in competency development programs
- Leadership skills are more important when taking positions with more responsibility; extraordinary athletes do become great coaches because of their technical skills; leaders must be lifelong learners in the arena of leadership
- HOW we ‘show up’ is critically important as leaders is often more important than WHAT we do
- Career is one of many dimensions of our wonderfully-full and balanced lives
