We’re excited to share the topic and questions for this week’s #HITsm chat happening Friday, 6/25 at Noon ET (9 AM PT). This week’s chat will be hosted by John Lynn (@techguy) from @hcitoday on the topic “Big Hairy Audacious Goals for Healthcare.”
If you’ve ever had the joy of taking business classes or studying business, then you’ve probably heard of the Big, Hairy Audacious Goal or BHAG if you prefer. The BHAG was introduced by Jim Collins in his book Built to Last. Here’s a short description of the BHAG concept:
BHAG is a concept developed in the book Built to Last. A BHAG (pronounced “Bee Hag,” short for “Big Hairy Audacious Goal”) is a powerful way to stimulate progress. A BHAG is clear and compelling, needing little explanation; people get it right away. Think of the NASA moon mission of the 1960s. The best BHAGs require both building for the long term AND exuding a relentless sense of urgency: What do we need to do today, with monomaniacal focus, and tomorrow, and the next day, to defy the probabilities and ultimately achieve our BHAG?
On this week’s #HITsm chat we’re going to dive into some BHAGs you’d create for healthcare. What’s a goal that’s simple to describe and people get it instantly? I can’t wait to hear your ideas.
Join us for this week’s #HITsm chat where we’ll discuss the following questions.
