The metrics you're using might be harming more than helping.
The situation this course is for
You're leading in a high-pressure environment where performance data drives decisions, but too often, the measures don’t reflect reality. Physicians feel frustrated, patients don’t see improvements, and transformation stalls despite effort. You need a system that aligns clinical workflows with strategic goals, without relying on vanity metrics.
Who this is for
A healthcare leader with MBA-level strategy exposure, operating in complex hospital systems, focused on performance excellence and sustainable transformation.
Who this is not for
This is not for consultants, students, or those seeking theoretical frameworks without implementation rigor.
What you walk away with
- Diagnose misaligned performance metrics that create friction, not improvement
- Design clinical dashboards that reflect actual workflow and patient impact
- Align transformation initiatives with frontline capacity and culture
- Build feedback loops that drive adaptive learning, not blame
- Implement a playbook tailored to your current organizational context
