LEADER DIALOGUE: Thriving in the Age of Consumerism with Lee Health System

00:00 /

Lee Health System has embarked upon an accelerated Baldrige Performance Excellence journey to drive exceptional results, further expanding their position as the preferred healthcare system of choice in Southwest Florida.

Dr. Alex Daneshmand explains the origins of the Lee Health System journey, why they chose SOAR Vision Group and Danu Performance Solutions to guide and support them on this accelerated transformation journey, and the key ingredients for success.

The consumerism war is won on the battlefield of customer experience. E-commerce access to any product or service regardless of location has significantly increased the speed of competition, forcing organizations to dramatically accelerate production, delivery, and customer service processes. What organizations do not have is time. Instead, they have be able to rapidly progress from strategy to results. For some business leaders the idea of engaging in disciplined thought and action to build a sustainably competitive and differentiated organization seems untenable. The opposite is true. Now more than ever prioritized action, removing process inefficiencies, and empowering employees to act like owners in the pursuit of a customer first, zero-defect journey, is essential for survival now and sustainable success in the future.

Lee Health System understands this and has embarked upon an accelerated performance excellence journey to thrive in the Age of Consumerism.
