As an NCHN partner, Strategic Impact Group will support NCHN's mission of supporting and strengthening health networks serving rural and underserved communities by providing high-touch, thorough and affordable executive search services for your most critical talent needs. We believe that healthcare organizations will not survive and certainly cannot thrive without strong leadership. Thus, the mission of Strategic Impact Group is to "deliver value through talent excellence" and our vision is "to enable individuals, teams, and organizations to flourish." Services

  • Executive Search – We combine comprehensive research and good old-fashioned networking to build deep talent pools. Our recruiting approach is very consultative...we are patient and dig deep to understand the key personal and career drivers for each individual. Typically, we become a "trusted career advisor" and partner in the eyes of the candidate, as opposed to a high-pressure "headhunter."
  • Onboarding and New Leader Assimilation – We provide "Concierge Care" for onboarding new leaders. This is an often overlooked step, so we work with you to map out a plan to effectively onboard and rapidly assimilate your new team members to ensure they feel supported and get off to a smooth, strong start.
  • Conducting 360⁰ and Hogan Assessments. We use a data-driven approach that involves both online surveys and in person interviews. The outcome of this process is a customized leadership development plan for the assessed individual(s).
  • Working with C-Suite Teams and/or Boards of Directors to instill structured succession planning and collaborative talent mapping (i.e., 9-box processes) to "take inventory" of the future leadership pipeline, identify gaps, and proactively and intentionally build leadership bench strength.

Why Strategic Impact Group? The Top 5 Reasons:

  1. Over 10 years of dedicated rural healthcare expertise and experience.
  2. Affordable and flexible fee structures – We are sensitive to rural healthcare finances and thus offer significant savings over traditional retained search firms.
  3. High-touch – We spend significant time onsite and in your community to be the best ambassador that we can be for your organization, while providing candidates honest and realistic previews of what is required for on-the-job success.
  4. Thoroughness – Executive search processes, 360s and succession planning involve a lot of steps and important details. We guide you through these processes, so that they are performed with quality and excellence.
  5. Our Core Values of INTEGRITY, CREATIVITY, EXCELLENCE, LOVE and FULFILLMENT likely align well with your core values.
