Culture is key to process improvement. Any change, large or small, is likely to be met with resistance. Let us help your organization increase success and accelerate the change implementations by incorporating change management techniques into the process improvement plan.
Do you have a large scale change planned for your organizaton? New IT systems, change in work location, or other disrupter that may cause culture resistance? Healthcare Improvement Strategies has experience in helping your “nay-sayers” become your “Change Champions!”
Ignoring your culture resistance is a recipe for disaster. Working with your teams to allow them to have a voice, understand the impact of change, contribute to how that change is communicated, and giving your staff the ability to carry your vision forward to exectuions is how successful change is adopted. Let us partner with you.
Aligning your staff to your organization’s goals and strategic plan is a critical step to long term success. Providing training to your workforce in leadership, process improvement, management skills, and intersectional relationships is foundational to creating organizational maturity.
Does your team understand the organizational vision? Do they know the metrics and goals that have been established? Can they relate their day-to-day work with scorecard measures in their work area? Do they understand how those measures tie to the organizational strategic plan?
Organizational Effectiveness starts with an investment in workforce development. The outcome is a staff that understands what must be done, how to do it as efficiently as possible, what the impact of their work is on the organization, and how to ensure that the entire team is moving towards the same goals. Improvement is a constant process, but when it becomes “how we do our work,” your organization is on the path to longterm success.
Let Healthcare Improvement Strategies show you how to transform your organization and become a provider of choice, an employer of choice, and partner of choice in your market.
