Leading High-Performance Healthcare Organizations – Europe

The face of healthcare is constantly changing around the world, 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.

Leading High-Performance Healthcare Organizations, now being offered in Paris, 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 the global healthcare environment.
