From Competition to Collaboration: How Leaders Cultivate Partnerships to Drive Value and Transform Health explains how healthcare leaders can navigate the difficult issues that arise when multiple organizations from different sectors and with different operating models, objectives, and cultures work together toward a shared purpose. By using this book’s health ecosystem leadership model (HELM™ ), leaders can shift their mind-set toward a broader purpose, focusing not just on healthcare but on health and promoting wellness.

Join us to learn from the best and brightest health ecosystem leaders who share practical examples of how they have successfully built partnerships and collaborations with diverse stakeholders that lead to positive outcomes for their organizations, their patients, and the communities they serve. The behaviors and competencies these leaders demonstrate form the basis of our Health Ecosystem Leadership Model (HELM™), a framework for how leaders generate cross-sector solutions to the healthcare industry’s most pressing needs by envisioning a new future, aligning diverse stakeholders, managing boundaries and obstacles, and continuously acting and learning.

They will discuss how the various sectors of the health industry – such as hospitals and health systems, pharmaceutical companies, payers, policymakers, local government, community organizations – can operate interdependently to deliver on critical imperatives, like affordability, access, and outcomes.
