Where to Start

  • This should probably really be called Lead, Follow, or get the Heck Out
  • f the Way.
  • “Each day you are leading by example. Whether you realize it or not
  • r whether it's positive or negative, you are influencing those around

you.” ― Rob Liano

Where to Start (Lead)

One of the key challenges with ICD-10 was getting leadership to make it a corporate priority:

  • Started discussions in 2010
  • Soft education
  • CEO discussion with impact / risk concerns
  • Other executive discussion around risks
  • Stress hope and faith are not a strategy

Only speak when it improves the silence. U.S. Senator Edmund Muskie

Once Projects Started (Lead & Follow)

  • Focus on governance and not who owns it
  • Biggest risk and impact discussions identified corporate sponsor
  • All about project methodology
  • Able to use risk discussion to get project methodology buy-in
  • Went with external vendor for project tools
  • Formed multiple project-based teams
  • Project-based reporting
  • Before and after benchmarks

CIO Focused Challenges

  • ICD-10 is not an IT project (Getting the heck out of the way)
  • Getting out of the way does not mean IT has no role
  • Getting buy-in that it needs to be a corporate initiative and priority without

leading it

  • Educating CEO and senior leadership team on:
  • State of Industry
  • Financial Risk
  • Organizational Impacts
  • How to add structure to project

If Not the CIO then Whom?

  • “The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same.”

― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

  • You may find that even though it is not an IT initiative, the CIO may be

the best person to lead it

  • Even if not led by CIO; value added though soft leadership and

bringing structure to the process

Leadership Challenges

  • How to discuss with CEO (Lead)
  • So the other executives don’t feel challenged or tattled on
  • Convince that it is not an IT project without looking like you are shirking responsibility or

challenge

  • Making IDC-10 a high priority
  • Engaging other executives and leaders that don’t report to you (Collaborate)
  • Showing you are a team player while getting them engaged
  • Not getting caught up in who has to do what
  • Keep your commitments – excuses only satisfy the maker
  • Getting out of the way!
  • Move past processes just because they are not done like you would
  • Letting others lead even if it may be a different direction
  • Focus on goals

Opportunities to Add Value

  • Fully explore soft leadership skills
  • Acting in a support role
  • Embedding other teams with needed IT staff that can guide
  • Making non-threatening; uninvited suggestions
  • Don’t second guess your peers
  • Celebrate others successes and team accomplishments
  • Collaborating by adding project management structure and tools
  • IT resources and tools like SHAREPOINT and MS Project
  • Education on using tools
  • PM coach to various teams
  • Stay positive
  • If you focus on the worst case and it happens, you suffered it twice. Michael J. Fox

Is it Safe?

Every corporate environment is different. Only you can know if it is safe to:

  • Shake things up a bit – question why or what the benefit is
  • Disagree in a respectful manner – Key word respectful
  • Public versus private setting
  • Relationship is everything
  • Offer helpful suggestions – careful how you do this and with whom
  • Take the lead if someone is trying to shift the lead and you are the best

person for the role

  • Focus on what is not delivered
  • Look to offer help
  • Do so in private versus public?
  • How are you presenting it

problem

Conclusion

  • There is not a magic formula.
  • Each CIO and each healthcare entity is unique.
  • Use the leadership skills that have worked for you in the past.
  • ICD-10 or any other project does not change that.

The time is always right to do what is right.

  • Dr. Martin Luther King
