On the 2020 healthcare board agenda

Prioritizing a heavy healthcare board agenda is never easy, and 2020 will be particularly challenging.

Prioritizing a heavy healthcare board agenda is never easy, and 2020 will be particularly challenging. The board is operating against a backdrop of changing demand, changing demographics, digitization and disruption, as well as changing revenue models. Healthcare is once again on the political agenda for the 2020 election cycle.

Drawing on insights from our work and interactions with directors and business leaders, we highlight six items for boards to consider as they focus their 2020 agendas on the critical challenges at-hand and on the road ahead:

  • Link boardroom discussions on strategy, risk, and disruption
  • Build the talent in the boardroom to meet the organization’s strategy and future needs
  • Help set the tone and closely monitor the culture throughout the organization
  • Approach data governance holistically
  • Make CEO succession and talent development a priority
  • Have a crisis response plan in place and practice it
