Strategic Thinking
& Decision Making
Course Description
“There is nothing more difficult to carry out . . . than to initiate a new order of things.”
The Prince, Machiavelli
Imagine this scenario: As the medical director of a multispecialty group in Rising Sun, Arizona, you and your colleagues must decide within the next year whether to integrate with the local hospital. How do you approach this enormous decision? What’s the best way to position your organization for maximum benefit?
It’s a situation many physician leaders are confronting. In this era of competition and reform, it’s critical to think strategically. This course will offer instruction on how to create a unique and sustainable competitive position for your organization.
