Proposed

Hold commitments to the last responsible moment
The Healthcare Web is a Business
within a Business
• The basis for your health system’s competition comes
from senior leadership
• But within the “Web business” you have new ways to
compete

• What do you make a business canvas for?
– The overall digital operations of the health system
– Audiences
– Sometimes also
• A website
• A service line
• Social media
Then Take the Plan to Goals
and Initiatives
• Specific targets for things to
accomplish

• You execute on goals with
initiatives
• Commit to work on a
manageable number of goals at
any one time
Have Goals that Matter
• Outcome metrics are preferred
– ROI
– Requests for consultation/follow-up
– Services resulting from interactions
– Improve adherence to treatment plans

– Improvement to morbidity or mortality

• These things are not
– Get this thing done
– Visits
– Pageviews
What’s an Initiative?
• An initiative is a group of tasks
– Why? Because most tasks shouldn’t be done in isolation

• MVP = Minimum Viable Product
– Each initiative starts as an MVP

  1. Web Strategy: The Best Offense is a Good DefenseHaving a Web strategy is critical. It gives your team a common purpose, supported by goals, priorities, timelines and performance measurements. A strategy is important regardless of if you’re approaching a major site overhaul or simply making incremental changes to your site. Without it, you have no way to prioritize your efforts and demonstrate your value. Attend this webinar to learn a new way to approach your Web strategy that will make you better at what you do.In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:Take a new approach to creating a comprehensive online strategyDetermine goals and objectivesSelect performance measurementsCreate a Web governance teamGet executive buy-in for your digital efforts

  6. Mirriam-Webster(2) : the science and art of military command exercised to meet the enemy in combat under advantageous conditionsBasically – goals must be achieved. Resources are limited. So how do you deploy those resources in pursuit of those goals? Where can you pick your battles?
  7. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_strategyA web strategy is a long term strategic business plan indicating how to create and develop a company’s online presence adhering to the business development strategy.
  8. Don’t confuse task planning with strategyToo often, I ask about strategy, and I’m told something like “we’re going to implement baby photos” That’s not a strategy…
  9. We’re looking back and driving forward.You don’t really know what’s out there. What will work and what won’t. We have our experience to guide us, but past performance is no guarantee of future results.Less visibility to the future than we think
  10. Setting things in motion regardless of where they go. Often not really looking until after the fact to see what happened.
  11. Vision = future state
  12. Don’t confuse precision with accuracy
  13. <<This is a salmon ladder. Can you find a better shot of something showing how hard it is to swim upstream?>>Takes a long time – info is out of date by the time you put this strategy outLong form – can’t see the entirety of what’s going onWhen you realize that an assumption is wrong, there’s so much documentation that you move ahead anyway. And you end up operating from a plan based farther and farther from reality.Or not thinking about it at all. When the goals are too far off, it’s hard to keep urgency and focus.
  14. This comes from the startup world. Startups don’t write those giant biz plans anymore. Why would you?Audiences, Problems, channels, your solution (key features), resources, your unique value proposition, competitors and then the costs and captured value
  15. Easy to understandEasy to changeNo reason to only stick you head up out of the hole to assess the world around you only once every 1-3 yearsMake strategy a process that you both execute on an ongoing basis and that you think about regularly and reassess regularly
  16. Shorter term = focusTalk about LRMIt’s a little Dilbert-esque
  17. Audiences – patients, health consumers, job seekers, donors, research collaboratorsService line – exampleTraditionally, I’ve not been a big fan of building a “strategy for facebook”
  18. Ron Swanson – parks and recWe all try to do too many things at once. Focus and get things done.This is a lean principle – If you’ve ever read “the Goal” this is reducing WIP
  19. Program or competency, not a piece of softwareTypes of metricsWhere do traffic-related metrics fit?Outcomes metricsCommunicate to executivesProcess metricsCommunicate in the absence of outcomes metricsUsed to manage effectivenessBase activity metricsUsed to manage effectiveness
  20. Group of tasks wrapped up togetherin a tidy package that makes them usefulMinimal – What’s the least that we can do to get this together and start getting real learning from the market?Viable – It needs to include enough to deliver value!
  21. Because you need to be prepared for change
  22. Because you need to be prepared for change
  23. The other major shift in philosophy here is that we shouldn’t look at doing a program or launching a new web thang isn’t the end of a process. It’s a set somewhere in the middle.Get things out there faster and learn from how they’re used. We spend too much time trying to get everything just so when we don’t really know how actual users will react.
  24. Your web properties are living breathing things. You can’t just create and let it ride.***Social – this is why I’ve softened on my “no FB strategy” position. You can’t approach HCSM like a campaign – focused and time-bound. Long term view and long-term cultivation of an audience.
  25. Too Many=Bad. Too Few=Bad.Advisory group members may vary from cycle to cycle as new initiatives are selected (to represent stakeholder groups)
  26. You have to get out there and do this. Hopefully your organization is doing this too.Don’t be completely reactiveOur industry is more dynamic than it’s been in a very long time. There will be winners and losers here.Hearing organizations today saying “we’re going to wait and see how things sift out” which is roughly equivalent to saying “I’m going to let the other kids get whatever they want and I’ll just take whatever’s left.The fear of committing to the wrong strategy is very strong. That’s because once we commit to strategy in a traditional way, you very rarely are adjusting course.
