C – Suite Situations & Services in Healthcare

Planning is always good, but sudden and unexpected events do occur that create challenges in your operations. CEO or COO experienced talent is difficult to find in many markets. We have personally experienced these encounters in our interim leadership history: 

Executive C-Suite Turnover

Voluntary or involuntary leadership changes create opportunities for a fresh perspective. Although stressful and disruptive for staff and governing boards, a new face on executive decision-making can re-energize an organization.

Operational / Financial Turnaround

When things are not going right, a new set of eyes on your operation can be a “game changer”.  It might be a organizational restructuring need, a downsizing, or needed leadership changes creating some instability.

A quick assessment and review of your key performance indicators can jump-start your situation while providing new urgency in moving your organization forward.

Divestures

Sometimes short-term leadership means transitioning to different leadership, or a different organizational structure, or maybe closure. This thorough understanding can help you make crucial decisions that clearly and consistently communicate the new company direction.

Putting interim leadership in place can allow executive leaders to launch thorough executive search campaigns, which can often take up to 6 months to complete where executive talent is scarce.

Temporary Relief for Existing Executives

Retaining good executives often means allowing them breaks and extended sabbatical time away from their leadership roles. Interim executives can provide this valuable role for both company executives, as well as providing new perspective to the company’s leadership team.
