If your organization is like many social service agencies, you are witnessing a transformation from pay-for-performance to value-based reimbursement. Shifts in reimbursement models are aligned with heightened funder expectations of robust customer service, high satisfaction rates, and active stakeholder engagement. How will this shift affect your operations, employees, and constituents — and are you prepared for such change? This webinar will explore different organizational structures — partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures — and what to consider when preparing to make changes. We will also discuss the financial, operational, technological, and cultural issues your organization should consider as you embark on this process. Finally, the webinar will focus on the framework your organizations will require for moving forward, including your decision-making processes.
Through participation in this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recognize key contributors to the changing human services landscape;
- Distinguish between different organizational structures, including partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, and join ventures; and
- Identify key financial, operational, technological and cultural considerations when exploring a new organizational structure.
Date: Wednesday, May 12, 10-11 a.m.
Price: Free for Providers’ Council members
