Business Acumen describes an organization’s ability to quickly and keenly understand and address a business situation in a manner that will likely lead to a good outcome. The first step in doing so is in understanding the world around you. As a Community Based Organizations (CBO*) serving people with disabilities, you may be seeking to diversify your payer portfolio or develop your business as a response to a new method of delivery such as a state transition to Managed Long Term Services and Supports (MLTSS). To ensure that you are fully informed when you begin, you will need to conduct some background research on the current or anticipated political environment, economic conditions, demographics and changes or opportunities within related organizations. Each of which will help you understand the environment you are in or will be entering.
Join us on October 25, 2017 from 12:30 – 1:30 p.m. Eastern as Erica Anderson, Senior Director of Business Acumen at the National Association of States United for Aging and Disabilities (NASUAD) and Elizabeth Priaulx, J.D., Senior Disability Legal Specialist with the National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) share tools that CBOs can use to collect the information they need to structure a strategic plan designed to help them meet their goals.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand key elements to collect during an environmental scan
- Understand how to use that information in a SWOT analysis
- How to use stakeholder engagement in your business strategy
