In the current healthcare landscape, health systems are acquiring more hospitals and single-specialty practices to create super systems of care within communities.

Many organizations are expanding to nearby cities and often other states, with the goal of being the best delivery system for patients. Every institution, no matter how great, is still vulnerable to decline.

In this presentation, Jim Collins will share with you the five stages of decline and how to turn the cycle around to bring your organization back to its competitive advantage before it’s too late. Even if you’re not currently experiencing the symptoms, knowing what to avoid can help make your organization stronger and more successful.

When Carly Fiorina took over the helm as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, the technology industry was in its deepest downturn in 25 years.
