Leading High-Performance Healthcare Organizations

The 2010 program will be held in Europe. The program will be offered on the HBS Campus in 2011. The information below is based on the program offered in 2009, and does not reflect potential changes to faculty and course content for the 2011 course.

The face of healthcare is constantly changing, with technological innovations, new treatments, new laws, and new types of organizations arising almost daily. In addition to negotiating the day-to-day demands of a busy and complex organization, healthcare delivery leaders must also be able to evaluate and understand the impact of alternative care delivery models. Whether it's pharmacy-based clinics or "focused factories", one thing is clear: the traditional way of delivering care is no longer enough.

Led by Harvard Business School (HBS) faculty, Leading High-Performance Healthcare Organizations exposes senior healthcare delivery leaders to new models and strategies for enhancing the performance of their organization. Presented by HBS Executive Education in partnership with the HBS Healthcare Initiative, this leadership development program examines and compares organizational practices both within and outside of the healthcare industry and offers insights into how leaders can maximize effectiveness and improve value within a dynamic and competitive healthcare environment.
