Scenario
A large, regional healthcare provider is developing a new, integrated wellness and prevention program (IWPP) for their patients.

The client has employed Point B to facilitate the development of the plan’s strategy, conceptual design, and roadmap for initial implementation. Describe how you would approach this effort.

I. Leadership Strategy Development and Plan
II. Organization Engagement and Strategy Refinement
III. Initial Implementation
I. Leadership Strategy Development and Plan
Once the leadership participants are confirmed with the sponsor, facilitated workshops will be structured to shape the key deliverables: business strategy, conceptual design and roadmap. Workshops will focus on:

• Identifying current challenges for the healthcare provider as a whole and specific to an IWPP
• Agreeing to the existing strengths overall but with a focus on existing prevention capabilities
• Understanding what has and has not worked in the past
• Defining a common IWPP vision and values
Defining what capabilities are needed and how to measure a successful IWPP.
Capabilities will shape the conceptual design and span such things as:

• People/organization structure
• Information
• Geographic location
Identifying the activities (immediate and future) to create a new IWPP. For example: 1
