Collaborative Healthcare: Leading Across Boundaries

Collaborative Healthcare: Leading Across Boundaries

Most businesses are striving to create collaborative organizations led by collaborative leaders. But what they are learning along the way is this: Collaboration isn't right for every situation. When collaboration fails to deliver results, it is nothing more than an exercise in futility.

Health care organizations must be especially good at judging when and how collaboration should be used. Because the industry is under intense, widespread pressure to deliver measurable improvements, it can't risk falling prey to "over-collaboration" or "misplaced collaboration."

This timely session will provide you with an understanding of when collaboration is most appropriate and feasible for delivering results, as well as the steps to accomplish successful collaboration and the traps and barriers that can destroy collaboration.

Through lecture, case studies and applied learning, you will learn how to:

• Differentiate between teamwork and disciplined collaboration
• Pull together the ingredients and resources necessary for successful collaboration
• Identify and avoid the common pitfalls of collaboration
• Create T-shaped management that rewards independent results and cross-functional contribution
• Influence buy-in and motivate people toward a common goal
• Develop nimble networks across your organization
• Increase your capacity and reputation as a collaborative leader
