Guide the articulation and translation of client requirements into program-wide outcomes, ensuring alignment between facility planning and service delivery goals.
Establish and lead a structured knowledge transfer and mentoring framework, with dedicated support for a local “shadow” program manager from our consultancy team.
Conduct workshops, working groups, and best-practice clinics with the client, project stakeholders, and consultants.
Design and implement benefit management strategies and dashboards to quantify and monitor the realization of program outcomes.
Provide performance insights and actionable improvements to optimize delivery timelines, cost, and quality outcomes.
Interface regularly with stakeholders at all levels, including C-suite levels within our client organization, hospital leadership, clinicians, consultants, and delivery partners to foster shared ownership and program success.
