Bestuurders in de gezondheidszorg uit heel Europa nemen deel aan CEO Forum om te leren, kennis te delen en te verbinden over Lean-transformatie

APPLETON, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Catalysis maakt vandaag de oprichting van een nieuw peer-to-peer netwerk bekend voor hogere leidinggevenden in de gezondheidszorg. Het nieuwe Europese CEO Forum is ontwikkeld voor ziekenhuisbestuurders die betrokken zijn bij de organisatorische verandering en daarbij gebruik maken van de lean methode. Het Europese CEO Forum wordt georganiseerd en geleid door Helen Zak, voorzitter van International Strategy and Relations bij Catalysis.

“We zijn verheugd om onze aanwezigheid in Europa te versterken met de lancering van het CEO Forum”, vertelt Zak, die in 2015 een vergelijkbaar programma opstartte en leidde voor bestuurders in de gezondheidszorg in de Verenigde Staten. “Lean-transformaties zorgen voor een hoop werk en je hebt de hulp van andere nodig die hetzelfde proces doorlopen. Het CEO Forum biedt een doorlopend programma waar hogere leidinggevenden iets kunnen leren, kennis kunnen delen en met elkaar in contact komen om zo van individueel leren naar met elkaar wat leren te gaan.”

Catalysis Launches New European CEO Forum to Enhance Focus on Lean Healthcare Transformation

Healthcare Executives Throughout Europe Join CEO Forum to Learn, Share and Connect Around Lean Transformation

APPLETON, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Catalysis today announced the creation of a new peer-to-peer network for healthcare senior executives. The new European CEO Forum is designed for hospital executives who are involved in organizational transformation using lean methodology. The European CEO Forum is organized and led by Helen Zak, president of International Strategy and Relations at Catalysis.

“We’re excited to further our presence in Europe with the launch of the CEO Forum,” said Zak, who, in 2015, launched and led a similar program for healthcare executives in the United States. “Lean transformations are hard work and you need the support of others on the same journey. The CEO Forum provides an ongoing program where senior executives can learn, share and connect with each other to move beyond individual learning to interdependent learning.”

Founding members of the European CEO Forum include leaders from St. Antonius (The Netherlands), CHU UCL Namur (Belgium), Region Hovedstadens Psykiatri (Denmark), NHS Highland (Scotland), NHS Western Sussex (United Kingdom), University Hospital of Helsinki (Finland), NHS Berkshire Trust (United Kingdom), University Hospital of North Norway (Norway), and Spital Mannedorf AG (Switzerland).

Members of the European CEO Forum convene throughout the year to learn about tools, systems and principles that lead to a successful lean transformation. They receive feedback, reflect on progress made, and create and update plans developing themselves, their teams and their organizations.

“The European CEO Forum is the ideal program for senior executives who are focused on transforming their healthcare organizations,” said Marianne Griffiths, CEO of NHS Western Sussex Hospitals, United Kingdom. “Sharing best practices and learning how to advance the lean transformation process is invaluable to our success. I’m pleased to be part of such a useful forum.”

Some of the work and results already made by members of the CEO Forum will be showcased at the 4th Lean Healthcare Transformation Summit – Europe, Oct. 9-10 in Amsterdam. To register or learn more about the Summit, visit https://createvalue.org/events-around-the-world/summit-eu/
