Today’s competitive environment requires that one be willing to adjust, adapt, and iterate rapidly to minimize disruption and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. This requires agility and the ability to plan for and integrate change across an organization. For this reason, Atrómitos’ Strategy service offering explicitly integrates Innovation and Change Management as core components.
Strategic Planning
We at Atrómitos anchor all our strategic planning work to the client’s vision, mission, and purpose; this helps focus resources on common goals that staff and stakeholders can identify.
Our Strategic Planning Services Include:
- Clearly defining (or refining) the vision and mission to ensure the organization can answer the question, “Why do we exist,”
- Analyzing the policy environment to identify opportunities for and potential barriers to growth,
- Facilitating working sessions with the client to identify where the organization is today (activities) and where it needs to go (goals), and
- Establishing a framework for the company that integrates its vision, mission, activities, and goals into a cohesive strategy to guide its growth.
Business Planning & Development
An informed, practical, and current business plan is essential for any organization’s growth, regardless of its stage of lifecycle.
Our Business Planning & Development Services Include:
- Assessment of the market in which the client operates to understand how service offerings meet the needs of potential clients and measure up against the competition,
- Identification of competitive advantage that defines the value proposition,
- Development of operations plans that identify capacities and the systems and processes that are needed to deliver services, and
- Establishment of an evaluation program to monitor performance and achievement of measurable goals.
Organizational Governance & Structure
As a business grows and evolves, thinking about a new corporate structure or a partnership with another organization may be necessary. Organizations have many options, from formal mergers or acquisitions to joint ventures or strategic alliances.
Before making any decision about structure and governance, business leaders first need to understand all options thoroughly. While legal counsel is indispensable in this process, Atrómitos offers practical insight informed by operational experience in managing or overseeing various mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring.
Our Organizational Governance & Structure Services Include:
- Analysis of the current corporate and governance structures to identify any gaps,
- Facilitated review of strengths and opportunities about the available corporate structures with the leadership team,
- Development of a restructuring and transition plan that allows the company to navigate the path forward successfully and
- Evaluation of cybersecurity and other operational risks associated with a proposed merger, acquisition, or joint venture, including contracting posture.
Change Management
Change is necessary for growth. To optimize the possibilities inherent in times of change, organizations must (1) understand why the change is necessary, (2) persuasively communicate a vision for the future, and (3) provide concrete and reinforced action steps to implement the desired change.
Our Change Management Services Include:
- Engaging with stakeholders to identify why change is needed and anticipated outcomes,
- Analysis of existing Business and Strategic Plans and regulatory environment to understand changes required,
- Development of a change management plan individualized to the company that reflects its values, recognizes and addresses barriers to adoption, identifies ways to track success along the way, and
- Management and Leadership support to help guide staff through the necessary changes.
Market Analysis
To thrive, organizations must understand their current and future markets.
Our Market Analysis Services Include:
- Leveraging publicly available data that provide insights into customer demographics, including who they are and what they need,
- Review of current and utilization trends of our client’s and similar services and products,
- Identification of other companies and organizations that offer an opportunity for collaboration or are in direct competition for the same market share, and
- Analysis of the regulatory environment to understand how current or potential policies may impact how the business operates.
Delivery System Innovation
Healthcare Delivery systems are experiencing inflection and transformation, which creates opportunities to deliver innovative programs that improve the health of a population.
Our Delivery System Innovation Services Include:
- Assessment of current services/products to identify opportunities to streamline or introduce new services to address the needs of the community,
- Review of contracts and funding opportunities, both public and private, to identify common priority populations and clinical quality measures and
- Strategic considerations of partners, including other providers and vendors, can care for patients in ways the organization cannot and support providers to care for patients more efficiently.
