Rate: $150 per hour of consulting.
I provide research-grounded strategy consulting for healthcare organizations navigating complex challenges: AI adoption, leadership equity, organizational change, policy development, and operational improvement.
This is my general consulting engagement for healthcare leaders who need a researcher-practitioner to help them think through a problem, build a strategy, or produce a deliverable.
What I help with:
• AI governance and strategy — Building governance structures, assessing readiness, evaluating AI tools, and developing policy frameworks. (For a full PPTO implementation engagement, see my dedicated PPTO AI Governance Consulting Package.)
• Leadership equity and pipeline analysis — Diagnosing where leadership pipelines break down, designing interventions, and building board-ready equity presentations.
• Organizational behavior and change management — Workforce readiness assessments, change management planning for technology adoption, and culture analysis.
• Healthcare policy and research — Policy briefs, research summaries, literature reviews, environmental scans, and evidence-based recommendations for healthcare decision-makers.
• Strategy documents and deliverables — White papers, executive briefings, board presentations, and strategic plans grounded in evidence.
How engagements work:
• Discovery call — We define the problem, scope, timeline, and deliverables
• Research and analysis — I do the homework: literature review, data analysis, stakeholder input, or whatever the project requires
• Deliverable production — You receive polished, actionable documents: strategy papers, policy frameworks, research briefs, presentations, or implementation plans
• Implementation support — Optional follow-on support to help your team execute
What you get:
Every engagement produces concrete deliverables. No vague advice. Depending on scope, that might include:
• Research reports and evidence summaries
• Strategy documents and implementation roadmaps
• Policy frameworks and governance structures
• Board presentations and executive briefings
• Equity assessments and intervention plans
• Change management plans
Who this is for:
Hospital and health system executives, compliance teams, quality improvement leaders, academic institutions, health startups, and individual researchers who need expert-level healthcare strategy support grounded in published research and 20+ years of healthcare administration experience.
