Health System Growth Series

Help your team navigate marketplace shifts.​


About our growth series

As the healthcare landscape rapidly evolves, traditional growth strategies — focused solely on expansion — no longer suffice. Health systems now face mounting financial pressures, regulatory shifts, technological disruption, and rising patient expectations. Redefining growth to emphasize sustainability and resilience is essential. Leaders who don’t adapt risk falling behind in an increasingly competitive and dynamic market. This health system growth series offers two unique approaches to help your team navigate marketplace shifts: a facilitated workshop and a guided presentation led by Advisory Board experts. Whether you’re aligning a team or tackling a complicated challenge, Advisory Board will provide practical guidance and resources to support your strategic goals.

“This was one of the best sessions that I have attended invmultiple years. The presenter was clear, knowledgeable, and fun.”​

Facilitated Workshop

Pursuing differentiated health system growth ​

Virtual + in-person • Executives, strategy teams, clinical leadership • Up to 40 participants​

 

Join us for a half-day, interactive and insightful workshop cocreated and cofacilitated with Optum Advisory. This session helps your team pursue differentiated health system growth by redefining success from merely getting bigger to getting stronger. Through a combination of case studies and facilitated exercises, we’ll guide your strategy team through our proven framework to uncover and prioritize potential growth opportunities that align with your organizational goals. ​

 

Agenda highlights: ​

  • Introduction to growth paradigms: Understand the shift from conventional service line strategies to identifying and cultivating a comparative advantage.​

  • Case studies: Analyze successful growth strategies from leading health systems.​

  • Facilitated exercises: Engage in interactive sessions to identify and prioritize growth opportunities.​

  • Interactive Q&A: Engage with experts and peers to deepen your understanding and share best practices.​

Interactive Presentation

Hard truths about health system growth ​

Virtual + in-person • Strategy, planning, growth, and business development teams • 25–200+ participants​

In this session, we’ll examine why the traditional growth playbook is breaking down — and how margin pressure, changing demand patterns, and rising expectations from employers and patients are forcing health systems to rethink where growth comes from and what “good” growth looks like. We’ll share our take on why this new definition for growth needs to move from “growth at all costs" to a sustainable growth mentality.

Agenda highlights:​

  • Why the traditional growth playbook no longer works — and what should replace it.
  • How to create differentiation that drives employer and patient choice.
  • Using system-level financial discipline to build sustainable demand and long-term value.
