2012 Keynote Speakers:
Opening Keynote: “Ethical Leadership for the 21st Century”, Cynthia Cooper, Cooper Group LLC
What can each of us do to build a culture of compliance, promote ethical leadership, and build a strong ethical foundation to achieve sustainable success? What are the common threads, root causes, and lessons learned from the recent corporate scandals? Cynthia Cooper will address these questions as she shares her own personal experiences at WorldCom and discusses critical governance lessons from the decade’s largest scandals. She will discuss:
Middle Keynote: "Achieving Strategic Results", Pete Knox, Bellin Health
Research indicates that 60-70% of all strategies fail to get implemented successfully. In the context of the intentions stated in our mission and vision this leaves healthcare organizations vulnerable to inadequate results in all categories of performance. Successful execution of strategy is a vital business competency required to achieve long term sustainable results. This presentation will provide a comprehensive framework for aligning and deploying strategy throughout the organization and achieving strategic results.
Closing Keynote: "There is No They", Larry Johnson, Johnson Training Group
While on a bicycling vacation in 2003, CJ, who is Larry’s wife and life partner of 36 years, was involved in an accident that changed their world. Despite wearing a helmet, CJ sustained a closed-head injury that put her in a coma for eight weeks, and a persistent vegetative state for seven months. Going from intensive care to skilled nursing to home healthcare, CJ and Larry have experienced firsthand what it’s like to be health care customers.
In this dynamic, humorous, and heart-felt presentation, Larry shows the audience members how they can make a huge difference in how patients perceive the care they receive. It’s a story that will touch the hearts of the audience and make them glad they have chosen to work in this very noble field.
