Dedicated to advancing rural community health and wellness, ACR Consulting brings wisdom and proven experience unmatched by others to your hospital, clinic, and/or integrated health care system. This remarkable team led by Adam C. Rees with 32 years of health care leadership experience (Mayo Clinic and Essentia Health) uses the Visual Management Performance System (VMPS) to cascade your strategic plan and drive performance excellence into your organization.
Given our depth and breadth of experiences, we can support your executive team, medical staff, and board in many areas using traditional planning services. However, the Visual Management Performance System is our most innovative proven tool to drive higher levels of performance to the front lines. We have the tools and experience to give you a competitive edge in your relevant market that will move your key drivers and transform your culture. Connect with Adam
Principles
Great leadership develops a performance culture that endures. We partner with you to equip your teams with the visual management performance system.
The best strategic plan adds little value when systems are lacking to cascade and align with front line employee work activity. Using systems theory, we assess your strategic plan, leadership team alignment and performance to identify opportunities for improvement.
“Trust is the foundation to successfully operationalize a strategic plan. Many organizations forget that a respectful culture must be present to build trust.”
Meet Adam
Mayo Clinic’s culture is built on, “The needs of the patient come first.” Like many Mayo trained leaders this principle has served me and my teams well through the decades. The Benedictine sponsorship of Saint Joseph’s Medical Center at Essentia Health also had a profound impact on both my professional and personal growth. Their primary values, Respect, Justice, Hospitality and Stewardship are my primary values. We look forward to working with mission driven organizations that authentically live out their values.
Successful leaders can create quick organizational wins, but only great leaders develop a culture of success that endures for decades. Every organization that I have had the privilege of serving has had long term sustainable superior performance. This only occurs through the high-performance teams where work is aligned by strategic goals and tactics at all levels of the organization. Many organizations forget that a respectful culture must be present to build trust. This is exemplified when honest dialogue occurs with relevant stakeholders before major decisions are made.
Embracing these principles results in sustainable performance excellence throughout the health care system regardless of environmental factors.
