• As we shift to a new mode of the pandemic — living with Covid — What are you hearing from healthcare leaders about what’s required next?
• Hearing a lot of “Thank God I had the Lean management system” for the pandemic - discipline, standard work
• How do you define strategy? Not just a binder…
• Strategy plan vs. strategy?
• Differentiation — what differentiates us? Not imitating
• From budgeting to financial forecasting (beyond budgeting)
• Strategy plan or hypothesis? - PDSA cycles — Roadmap or GPS?
• Strategy formulation and strategy deployment??
• Lot of choices that have to be made? How to make better choices? Better choices more quickly?
• How do you define a management system, a strategic management system? What makes it really work?
• Reinvigorating the management system, but learning from the first time
