March 18, 2026
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET
Executive Web Briefing Courtesy Of OPEN MINDS 

In today’s turbulent market, organizations that rely solely on intuition and historical performance are exposed to risk.

Now is the time to move your leadership from survival to sustainability. Join OPEN MINDS Senior Associate, Christy Dye, and OPEN MINDS Executive Vice President, Michael Allen, for an in-depth session on strategic growth planning, featuring key steps for developing a market-informed strategic plan and conducting scenario-based planning.

The session will include a detailed look at two leading provider organizations as successful case studies, along with a proven framework for improving financial discipline and enhancing growth strategies.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Replace reactive growth decisions with a systematic, data-informed process for evaluating market opportunities
  • Gain tighter alignment between growth decisions and long-term strategy
  • Develop a market-informed strategic plan, conduct scenario planning, and select a winning strategy
  • Successfully implement a growth strategy and measure its success
