Three Essential Ingredients For Organizational Performance: One Source

For health and human service organizations, outcomes are everything.

Why? Payers and consumers are increasingly focused on the value of the services provided – with value defined as consumer outcomes versus cost. This development has made clinical outcomes a critical part of any organization’s competitive value equation.

At OPEN MINDS, we believe the path to better consumer outcomes starts with better business performance – and optimal 'business outcomes' allow more time, money, and resources to be focused on serving consumers.

The OPEN MINDS Circle provides our subscribers with the three key elements in achieving organizational performance:

1. Up-to-the-minute market intelligence
2. Analysis from industry-specific experts
3. Advice from experienced executives

1. Up-to-the-minute market intelligence

Quality information is the fuel that powers quality decisionmaking. At OPEN MINDS, we have dedicated a robust team of research analysts to continuously tracking all the developments, policy changes, and stakeholder information shaping the field. This market intelligence serves as the groundwork of everything we produce for our subscribers.

2. Analysis from industry-specific experts

By leveraging the unique expertise and experience of our team of 100+ senior advisors and state-specific subject matter experts, we take each piece of market intelligence, extract the important details, and add the insights and analysis that helps our subscribers to understand how this information will affect their organization and strategy.

3. Advice from experienced executives

The OPEN MINDS Circle provides the practical management applications and best practice models that help organizations understand how to apply information to organizational strategy, allowing them to capitalize on new information (and opportunities) quickly and efficiently.

Dear Open Circle educators,

Open Circle Math

We are reaching out to say that we support you and we are here for you. We are in the midst of a whirlwind of change and uncertainty, requiring each of us to reach deep into our emotional, social and mental reserves to make in-the-moment adjustments, creatively problem-solve, and wholeheartedly embrace that the only constant is change. We all have had to manage our own emotions in order to provide calm guidance and support in our personal and professional roles.

At this point our entire staff is working from home. Like you, we are using Google Hangouts, Zoom, and other platforms to communicate. In addition, many of us with school-aged children have shifted into homeschooling mode and have certainly deepened our appreciation for all that you do as classroom teachers and school administrators!

One of the hallmarks of the Open Circle approach is the focus on the power of relationships as a lever for effective SEL. Although we have to maintain physical distance to ensure safety and health, we can still be social beings and reach out in virtual ways to maintain those social bonds. We know that each of you is leaning on the foundation of relationships you’ve created to provide the remote educational support that students and families need. We are working diligently to adapt and create resources to support your continued work with students. You’ll be hearing more from us in the coming days and weeks as we prepare these resources for you.

The Open Circle Fleet

We also want you to know that the Open Circle team is carefully examining our professional development approach for the upcoming training cycle and we will get back to you with up-to-date information when we have more to share.

Please feel free to reach out to us at info@open-circle.org with any questions, or specific suggestions and we’ll do everything we can to address them. Stay well.

In solidarity,

The Open Circle Team
