Health care continues to undergo radical transformation. Whether it’s the financial agenda, advances in biotechnology or shifts in consumer expectations, strategic leaders and strategists of all kinds are anticipating, preparing and creating the future of health care. As a key resource to the successful implementation of strategy for your organization, learn more about how your role is changing. 

This webcast will outline key concepts in SHSMD’s newly updated Bridging Worlds report, featuring fresh perspectives on the future role of the health care strategist. Through stories and case examples, strategic implications and opportunities for health care strategists will be illustrated, and key skills and attributes required for success will be shared. The report has received wide acclaim and served as the genesis for SHSMD ADVANCE™, a comprehensive resource for professional development.
