“During the process, Dan played a key role in leading the group in discussions about the important issues. He was able to elicit the areas that caused concern among members of the staff and encouraged discussion of those concerns. He maintained the momentum of the group. He did a thorough analysis of the local situation, which proved helpful in keeping the group focused on the reasons for developing a PHO.”
Beatrice Murray, M.D., Grand Rapids Pediatrics, P.C., Butterworth Medical Center, Grand Rapids, Michigan
“It is a great pleasure to serve as a reference for The Beckham Company. Parkview Health System has had an outstanding experience with this fine organization. As facilitators of our strategic planning process, Dan Beckham and his associate, Lise Petrich, were superb. They kept us on track without dominating the process, so it truly remained our strategic plan. They made sure that we received maximum value from our efforts through inclusion of implementation strategies and plans. Their outstanding knowledge base allowed us to minimize start-up time and background sessions. Our experience was far superior to previous strategic planning processes with other facilitators.”
Frank Byrne, M.D., President, Parkview Hospital, Parkview Health System, Fort Wayne, Indiana
“Shortly after I joined Quorum, I had the opportunity to meet a bright, young consultant who had just joined our consulting organization as the ‘thought leader.’ While I had heard of Dan Beckham, I had not had the pleasure of meeting him. I was immediately impressed by your grasp of the health care business and the changes taking place within the industry. Admittedly, your ideas were much more progressive than we were ready to accept in the early days, but I watched as you repeatedly proved yourself correct in some of your prognostications about the present and the future. Your ability to excite an audience relative to your ideas, your ability to create lasting personal and professional relationships with our clients and your fellow consultants, and your never bending commitment to integrity in the commitments we made and the delivery of those services were outstanding attributes during our professional and personal association. On top of all of that, I have continued to be amazed by your ability to orchestrate discussion groups to cause us to think outside of the boxes and beyond what we thought might have been possible in some of our discussions and to help us zero in on some of the thoughtful strategies of the future.”
James E. Dalton, Jr., President & CEO, Quorum Health Group, Inc., Brentwood, Tennessee
“Many thanks again for helping us get the Mayo Foundation Marketing Resource Group up and running.”
Patricia Simmons, M.D., Chair, Mayo Foundation Marketing Resource Group, Rochester, Minnesota
“Throughout this engagement period, Dan has also provided ongoing advice and support on trends that he felt might have impact on St. Luke’s. We have been extremely satisfied with the quality of work that Dan has provided and he has definitely played a part in the success that the organization has achieved throughout the past five years.”
Mark Ambrosius, President, St. Luke’s Medical Center, Aurora Health System, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
“The Beckham Company recently facilitated the 2000-2003 Strategic Plan for St. Agnes HealthCare. Dan and Lise served as an extension of our management team. They worked well with our staff and physicians. They continually challenged all of us to be bold in our thinking, and the result was a new strategic vision and accompanying plan which positions St. Agnes well for the future.”
Robert W. Adams, President & CEO, St. Agnes HealthCare, Baltimore, Maryland
“Holzer Medical Center recently engaged The Beckham Company to lead an in-depth Strategic Planning process for the organization. The input into the process was extensive and the work of the Strategy Team was intensive. However, the entire process from kick-off to Board approval took only four months. This was due to the highly efficient manner in which Dan Beckham and Lise Petrich facilitated the process. They provided enough information, feedback and leadership to keep us focused and on task, but never pushed for closure on an issue before we were ready. In other words, they drove the process, not the outcome. Dan and Lise brought complementary skills to our process, drawing from a wealth of experience in a variety of settings. They got ‘inside’ our organization to understand its unique challenges and opportunities. Also, they were very helpful in supporting strategies that were “outside the box.’”
LaMar Wyse, President & CEO, Holzer Medical Center, Gallipolis, Ohio
