WHAT IS IT RUNNING ON?
A 45-minute briefing for newly appointed healthcare and life sciences executives

You inherited it. It was running before you got there. The question is what it's running on.
In the Army, a new commander gets an Initial Command Inspection within the first 90 days. It is an independent look at the unit they inherited, not at them, and the results go only to the commander and the rater. Most civilian executives start without anything like it.
Who it's for
New executives at hospitals, health systems and life sciences organizations: CEOs, COOs, CNOs, CMOs, quality and operations leaders. It's most useful in your first year in the role.
What you'll learn
- What a new leader actually inherits: the results, and whether they rest on structure or on a few people carrying the load
- How to read one recent event your organization got through, and what it shows about how the work really runs
- Three questions to answer before your first major commitment
- What a new leader can ask for in the first weeks to see what the organization is running on.
Cameras stay off. Nothing to prepare. Questions welcome.
