When I launched Collaborative Consulting in 2010, healthcare reform was on the horizon and most health sector leaders felt a deep sense of uncertainty. With significant changes looming, I realized that a major challenge facing health and social care organizations would be reinvention, not preservation, of the status quo. Today, we help our clients in the health and social services sectors become more comfortable with new ways of operating so that they can achieve their potential in a complex environment and translate new models, structures, and partnerships into viable opportunities for growth. Our approach combines assessment, collaboration, strategy, research, and implementation. We move beyond the limitations of traditional consulting approaches, where the focus is too often on the consultant as the expert. Instead, we place more value on facilitating substantive dialogues, cultivating creativity and possibility, and supporting clients to expand their capacity to act on their ideas. This leads to longer-lasting change embedded in our clients’ organizations and initiatives.Connect with me to talk about what’s next in the system of health and how Collaborative Consulting can help you activate your potential.Combining everything I’ve learned over my 25-year career in the healthcare industry with a deep understanding of the dynamics of change, I help our clients become more comfortable with new ways of operating so that they can achieve their potential in a complex healthcare environment and translate new models, structures, and partnerships into viable opportunities for growth. My work ranges from cross-sector partnership development to multi-stakeholder collaborative design and facilitation, from new model and service design to organizational capacity building and leadership development.I earned a Bachelor of Science in physiology from Kansas State University and a Master of Arts in psychology from Sonoma State University.
