IBW Familiarity with the Northland Increases Impact for Healthcare System Through its work with?NORTHLAND HEALTH CARE ACCESS, SAMUEL U RODGERS COMM HEALTH CENTER, and several other public health departments, hospitals and organizations in Platte and Clay counties comprising Kansas City’s Northland, IBW has become an invaluable part of the healthcare system.

IBW worked with Symphony of Northwest Arkansas on its three-year strategic plan, a comprehensive process that included interviews with key community stakeholders, an audience survey, a full-day strategic planning retreat with SoNA board members and staff, and nine focused planning sessions following the retreat. For SoNA Executive Director Ben Harris, the resulting strategic plan has been important for accountability: “There's no shortage of good ideas around the office, but when you commit them to paper, assign responsibilities, and calculate costs. Then it becomes a real thing.” Learn more about IBW’s partnership with SoNA. https://lnkd.in/gKzxamsB #ibosswell #SoNA #strategymanagement #accountability #implementationplanning?
