Competitive landscaping for major healthcare provider

Business Challenge
The company was considering transforming their operational model to become part of an Integrated Delivery System (IDS). As part of the planning for such a transformation, they needed to better understand their competitive landscape, map key players in the space and profile best-in-class players. This would help them articulate best industry practices they could then implement when transitioning to become part of an IDS.
How We Helped
A comprehensive research plan was created to address the challenges the organization would face in such a transition. It combined primary and secondary research that achieved the following four key results:
Identification of high level industry trends that would affect the scope, speed and configuration of the new operating model
Mapping and segmentation of relevant key industry players by geographical reach and product mix
Profiling each relevant key player including key performance metrics, management profiles, geographical focus, degrees of integration, membership composition, product mix and operational configurations
Synthesizing common best practices across best-in-class players that could become guiding insights to undertaking such a transition
The research program was executed. More than five key players were identified and profiled in detail. Five best practices were articulated across key players and implications were drawn to facilitate transition planning.
Growth Decisions’s market research and analysis were critical to provide insight and synthesis of a dynamic sector to enhance transition planning, reduce time-to-market, and minimize execution risks.
