The Maverick Healthcare Consulting approach is far from any "traditional" approach to strategic planning…much more robust and participative - resulting in actionable plans that have the "fingerprints" of all key stakeholders from beginning through results realization. In our view, what we refer to as "Strategic Innovation" is more in touch with today's leadership and management realities - a continuous process…a different way of thinking and decision making…a unique approach to leveraging the knowledge, experience and requirements of multiple participants - a true reflection of realities of managing in today's complex healthcare environment.

A key element in our Strategic Innovation program is the Decision Accelerator. The Decision Accelerator is an organizational effectiveness approach that reduces the risk of poor execution by increasing the speed, quality, and durability of business decisions. It is for business leaders who need to act quickly on complex, multi-disciplinary issues that have a significant impact on healthcare quality performance.

Unlike time-consuming traditional approaches where input is solicited individually from select participants and synthesized by an outside consultant, the Decision Accelerator brings together the all of the critical participants to work concurrently to a swift conclusion. Because "nobody is as smart as everybody," the DA process is designed to optimize large group working dynamics; we typically include 60 or more participants in a session. Each highly participative and interactive DA session is designed to leverage the knowledge of your leading physicians, clinicians and other staff, allowing them quickly define competitive environment, frame key strategic issues, isolate potential scenarios and strategic options, and define key strategic goals and milestones over a range of planning horizons.

After the DA is complete, we guide your leaders in the development and execution of Organizational and Tactical Plans to accomplish your Strategic Milestones.
