Top 5 Common Downfalls to Developing a Great Strategy

Using Last Year’s Plan

Even if last year’s plan was a great success, you don’t want to make the most common mistake there is, using it again. You still need to assess what is happening to and around your business, regardless of whether your primary objectives remain the same. In healthcare, there could be possible technological advances or government policy changes that impact the industry. Don’t risk missing the mark because you didn’t assess the changes!

Overcomplicating the Process

Too many times companies try to complicate the plan because they think it seems superior. The goal is effectiveness not complication. The length should be concise and to the point. A short plan can be distributed to all staff so that everyone in the organization is on the same page and able to understand and implement the plan.

Not Knowing the Needs of Their Customers

Start with the needs of your customers when developing your strategy. Know your target market. You must understand what you already know about your customers and what you need to know to ensure that you meet their needs and solve their problems. Patients want assurances that they are receiving the latest and greatest advancements when it comes to healthcare, and you need to be positioned to offer them that reassurance.

Not Staying on Top of Market Trends

Are your competitors blazing the trail when it comes to patient care and keeping up with the technological trends while you fall behind? Know your competitors and what they are doing better than you. Analyze market trends for key themes and new opportunities, research the latest in patient care and treatment processes, and position your organization to become the trail blazer in healthcare.

Ignoring the Input of Company Staff

If your staff have had no input in the strategic plan, they will not have any buy-in. Many healthcare consulting companies will make this mistake. Engage critical stakeholders throughout your organization to ensure your plan is developed with input from all key departments. Securing their buy-in ensures a more well-rounded plan and smoother implementation.
