Webinar – Stakeholder Management during the Partnership Process
We want to thank The Governance Institute for including us in this program and allowing our team to be part of their mission to serve not-for-profit hospital and health system boards of directors, executives, and physician leadership through research and publications, online learning, conferences, and advisory services.
Webinar Overview
This Webinar will present a case study of Genesis Health System’s decision-making process as they evaluated strategic partnership opportunities. While maintaining fiduciary control of the timeline, events, and interactions with the market, the board sought input and observations from two advisory councils composed of clinicians and employees. Those councils participated in all site visits in the Quad Cities and reverse due diligence trips to visit the finalist partners.
This program will review the Board’s strong leadership and governance actions to navigate the transaction while aligning hundreds of clinicians and stakeholders.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this Webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Describe the roles of the board and senior leadership in a well-organized partnership process.
- Define the benefits of proactive communications and the merits of including valued stakeholders in the decision-making.
- Navigate the balance between fiduciary control and constituent inclusion.
For anyone that was not able to join us, the webinar is available for member view on The Governance Institute’s website HERE.
