Big Picture Healthcare Services

Big Picture Healthcare supports organizations with facilitation, consulting, speakers, workshops and seminars, and business coaching.

Facilitation:

As a facilitator, Nan Andrews Amish supports executive and cross-functional teams to explore for themselves critical issues and develop mission, vision and strategy statements. For healthcare today, this is crucial, since solid vision of a future that is market driven, consumer/patient friendly and financially responsible is rare.

While Big Picture Healthcare has a huge reservoir of expertise in subjects ranging from health care economics to high tech product marketing, our mode of consulting, training and coaching tends to be facilitative, as opposed to expertise based. We have learned by working with clients that when they develop their own processes, their results are self-sustaining long after we leave. We do not want to encourage dependence.

Groups often work on implementation plans by accessing their own organizational wisdom. The result is always stronger and more accepted than any consultant or executive driven initiative. Fun, profitable too. It works!

Where is facilitation most valuable?

• Board retreats
• Vision, mission, strategy sessions
• New product brainstorming sessions
• Large-scale organizational change processes
• Extremely tough problems that have resisted being solved
• Annual meetings

We also facilitate structured team building (yeah, we have games, balls, exercises and adventures) and customized simulation experiences.

Lead facilitator Nan Andrews Amish has earned the nickname of "FacilitAmish" for her work in these services.

Business Coaching:

Big Picture Healthcare works with executives one-on-one to map out optimal business and behavioral choices. While some professionals learn with a single exposure or group experiences, many folks need the support of one-on-one coaching. We work with executives, dyads and teams on specific areas of improvement. Our work is driven by individual and team assessments and aligned with strategic objectives. It is low key, confidential.

Our coaching integrates business and behavioral elements. We also offer presentation coaching, which we find almost all executives benefit by, and which has immediate high impact. This often opens the door to more subtle opportunities for excellence.
