The Burning Platform: Why Organizations Are Investing in Leadership Integration Now

As healthcare organizations continue to wrestle with the human resources (HR) crisis, there is increasing awareness that leadership development can increase retention and performance, as well as enabling leaders to advance strategic priorities. As a result, more and more organizations across sectors are realizing the benefits of investing not just in individual leaders, but in leadership integration organization-wide.

Despite the widespread recognition of the importance of distributing leadership and integrating it into the organizational culture, the first priority in convincing decision-makers to commit is answering the question: “why now?”. This crucial foundation addresses the first step in Kotter’s change leadership model: the burning platform.

The Certified Health Executive (CHE) Program is pleased to present an interactive exclusive webinar for CCHL Strategic Alliance partners, led by the CCHL’s Dr. Jaason Geerts, Vice-President of Research and Leadership Development, entitled, “The Burning Platform: Why Organizations Are Investing in Leadership Integration Now”.

During the session, Dr. Geerts will begin by engaging the audience with an overview of the current context of healthcare leadership, including based on perspectives shared by participants beforehand through an online survey. The session will then cover the potential benefits of leadership integration system-wide and evidence-based and leading-practice strategies for further integration based on the most recent findings from the College’s national and international research initiatives.

The session will conclude with encouraging participants to identify and commit to next steps that they can apply in their workplaces.
