More Than 600 Executives To Gather Virtually For 2020 OPEN MINDS Strategy & Innovation Institute Week; Live Forums Offer Face Time With Thought Leaders
GETTYSBURG, Pa. (May 29, 2020)—More than 600 executives of health and human service organizations across the country will come together virtually, June 1–5, for The 2020 OPEN MINDS Strategy & Innovation Institute Week to explore how to develop strategy and foster innovation for post-pandemic sustainability—and continue to serve vulnerable populations with chronic health conditions and complex support needs.
“A crisis is the time for strategic planning and innovation—on steroids. Right now, executive teams need to revisit planning assumptions routinely, keep regular tabs on payers and competitors, have a streamlined process for taking new service line concepts from idea to scale, and be prepared to fail (and pivot) fast.” said Monica E. Oss, chief executive officer at OPEN MINDS. “This week is focused on the best practices for planning for success in the ‘new normal’—and building the team and the competencies to make that change happen. And, we have moved quickly to build a virtual institute experience that combines our great faculty and content with Q&A following each session, eight open forums, and a virtual exhibit hall with great information on solutions and our trademark attendee raffle.”
Ms. Oss added, “I want to thank so much our partners who have worked with us to keep our great content available to executives in the field and support our shift to a virtual format in just six weeks.” The event platinum partners are Qualifacts Systems Inc., PsychU, PKD Network, Credible Behavioral Health Software, and Netsmart.
Genoa Healthcare, CapGrow Partners, Welligent, Core Solutions, Aymira Healthcare Technologies, Butler Human Services, Health Information Management Systems, and PerformWise have also been working with OPEN MINDS to provide great content.
