We love to uncover the complexities of culture, the tension between daily and long-term business demands, and the reasons why previous change efforts have stalled. A good strategy inspires people, delivers clarity, and drives strong strategic focus. We help you navigate complexity, design something powerful, and bring people onboard.
In June the DoTank team worked closely with the Colorado Hospital Association C-Suite, Board and CEOs as they took steps to re-shape the vision of healthcare in Colorado. While our team facilitated sessions with the Board and CEOs over the course of four days at their retreat, the planning and preparation started weeks in advance.
Strategy design is at the heart of how we deliver value at DoTank. We thrive working with teams from the Board to the front line and value our alignment with partners like state hospital associations and QIOs who are helping reshape healthcare across the country.
In just about 6 weeks, CHA and DoTank met on a weekly basis to strategize around how we were going to take a three day retreat and ensure we captured the voice of the Board and more than 70 CEOs to guide the future direction of healthcare in Colorado.
We worked with the teams to do some discovery on the current state, to then coalesce on their collective vision and finally to ideate the collective impact we could make. This is a process we have replicated with teams over the years who are focused on any kind of strategic visioning, however micro or macro that might be.
We used visual canvases to power the work, and through canvas-based activities explored the current state of healthcare in Colorado, market challenges and a range of potential new solutions. We deployed a string of human centered design sessions with this group focused on a period of discovery, ideation and action.
In a short period of time, we were able to convene more than 70 CEOs and garner their insights into how the association should proceed with the bold aim of reshaping healthcare in their state. At the end of the retreat, we had hundreds of data points to analyze which culminated in an analytic report for the association which serves as a compass to strategic action.

This is the objective section. Here, we clearly state why we were hired, what the goals are, what the metrics for success are, and what the macro impact of the project is. Questions to remember: Why is this work important to this company? What do they have to gain? Lose? What have they lost already by not tackling this issue?
