Based in beautiful
San Francisco.
We provide big-firm expertise
with boutique-firm responsiveness.
We have a lean core team plus a deep bench of seasoned experts we can call on when needed. That means clients get the right expertise without the overhead of a large consulting firm.
We focus on relationships, value and impact.
We build lasting relationships with our clients that often grow into genuine friendships and span many years. Long after a formal engagement has ended, our client-friends call to talk through a governance challenge, think through a strategic opportunity, or to get a restaurant recommendation in San Francisco.
That’s one of the joys of our work: building trusting relationships with mission-driven folks from around the country who are as committed as we are to helping communities thrive.
We are old school.
We prefer white boards over slides, active discussion over report-outs, and the kind of engagement that really energizes. We ask lots of questions, tell plenty of stories, and sprinkle in mixed metaphors to make complex ideas easier to understand.
Experience built over many years.
We’ve spent 25 years in healthcare governance and strategy working with provider organizations of all kinds across the country. We’ve seen and experienced what works well and what doesn’t.
Our job is to share that knowledge and help leaders and boards to their best work.
Because it matters.
Past consulting work has focused on:
- Long-range strategic planning to guide decisions that share the future of healthcare.
- Regional planning and program design for trauma, women’s and children’s, neurosciences and other regionalized care.
- Corporate reorganization to reconfigure, align, and integrate the elements of complex healthcare systems.
- Physician alignment and integration to strengthen hospital-physician relationships.
- Community health needs studies to align strategic investment and program development with the health needs of the communities served.
