Overview
Traditional programmatic residential aged care and home care organisations and their service – business models are Red Telephone Boxes. Typically they are governed by Boards who are either:
1. Walking backwards into the future, looking at their glorious past, therefore being leaders of resisting organisations, or
2. Have fallen in love with their shadow, which does not reflect their true form, and are therefore leaders of following organisations.
However, disruptive organisations, known for their unique service models, innovative business models and strategic success and financial sustainability are becoming Interstellar Tardises, more commonly referred to as leading organisations.
The Boards and Chief Executives of leading aged care operators have not just adapted to the customer driven, competitive marketplace of aged care and health care, but are transcending the programmatic principles and parameters of Commonwealth government mandated aged care service standards, quality and funding.
This seminar explores the current and emergent industry and organisational strategic drivers, forces and trends that will propel leading organisations, and how these factors will challenge and limit slow moving and resisting aged care operators.
It is clear, given the current state of the industry and the declining position of the majority of residential care and home care organisations – there are only a few industry and organisational scenarios and associated strategic options that will play out.
As you plan for the year ahead, join Michael Goldsworthy for this insightful, thought provoking and practical seminar, that should leave you with not only ideas and considerations for 2021, but a strong sense of urgency to either continue maintaining your Red Telephone Box or fly your Interstellar Tardis.
