Book excerpt: Filled with illustrative case studies, practical examples, and helpful management tools for self-assessment, Agility in Health Care combines the expertise of Goldman and Graham with the experiences of prominent health care providers, consultants, administrators, and academics to show how to apply this powerful model within the health care environment. The contributors reveal how to focus the effective agility model to help health care organizations: offer individualized customer solutions; create alliances and replace own-it-all strategies; replace outdated command-and-control hierarchies with win-win relationships; exploit the power of information technologies; create competitive advantage by sharing knowledge; and train the next generation of physicians.
