Course Information

Introduction

Healthcare systems worldwide are at a critical inflection point. Rising costs, workforce shortages, aging populations, climate-related health threats, and eroding public trust demand more than incremental improvement—they require visionary leadership capable of reimagining how care is organized, financed, and delivered. In this context, hospital executives must shift from managing operations to shaping ecosystems, from reacting to crises to building enduring resilience.

This intensive 10-day executive program is designed for senior leaders who govern hospitals, integrated care systems, or regional health networks. It deliberately moves beyond digital tools, IT infrastructure, or technical training. Instead, it focuses on the strategic, ethical, and systemic dimensions of leadership that determine long-term organizational success in an era of profound uncertainty.

Participants will explore how leading health systems—such as those in the Nordic countries, Singapore, the UK’s NHS, and select U.S. integrated models—are redefining value through outcomes-based care, embedding equity into service design, and building adaptive capacity to withstand future shocks. The curriculum emphasizes strategy as a living practice, not a static plan, and resilience as a core strategic asset, not just risk mitigation.

Through real-world case studies, executive simulations, and peer dialogue, participants will develop the mindset and frameworks to lead with clarity amid complexity. The course balances global insights with local applicability, ensuring leaders can translate concepts into actionable strategies within their own governance, cultural, and financial contexts.

By the end of the program, participants will return to their organizations equipped not only with new knowledge—but with a renewed sense of purpose, a robust strategic narrative, and a personalized roadmap to lead their institutions toward a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient future.
