What Every Executive Needs To Know About Tech Management
Sponsored By Credible Behavioral Health Software
It’s not just about numbers and people, it’s also about Technology!
C-Level Executives are charged with steering agencies in challenging times and growing agencies in order to thrive in an increasingly complex market. One often undervalued strategic weapon is technology. Whether underutilized today due to a lack of understanding, complexity or cost, technology stands alone as one of the most potent strategic weapons. Containing the power to a) significantly increase revenues while decreasing costs b) separate an Agency from its known and unknown competition and/or c) thoroughly sink an agency in the muck and mire of failed promises, outdated solutions and costly mistakes. Technology doesn’t have to be a mystery, a gamble, or an unknown item operating in a magical black box.
This session will simplify Tech Management, technical terms, and tech strategies. Beginning with a clear definition of key terms, a seasoned tech executive with over 30 years of business experience and a track record that has attracted a $30 million investment from Goldman Sachs, will share his insights on Tech Management.

Leadership In A Time Of System Transformation: Using Advocacy To Change The System For Consumers
Many will undoubtedly remember the 2013 death of the son of Senator Creigh Deeds, who was unable to secure a hospital bed in a psychiatric ward for his son during a mental health crisis. This unfortunate incident brought to light the many problems facing the mental health care system in the Commonwealth of Virginia – and furthered the deep commitment that Charles (Chuck) Hall, the recently retired Executive Director of the Hampton Newport News Community Service Board, had to helping revamp the entire system of care in Virginia. Today, Mr. Hall works as a volunteer advocate with a joint mental health task force, pushing legislators, elected officials and state and local healthcare workers to work together to fix the broken system. In this inspiring discussion session, Mr. Hall will discuss his work in the state of Virginia and where system advocacy fits into the leadership role for executives.
Do You Have The Reporting Capabilities You Need To Succeed? How To Manage Performance In Times Of Transition
Today’s health and human service organizations have a lot of relatively inexpensive data available from a lot of sources – including electronic health record (EHR) data, customer relationship management (CRM) data, financial data, human resources (HR) data, consumer health risk appraisals, and remote monitoring data. In addition, there are many relatively inexpensive tools for analyzing that data. But all the data and all the tools don’t mean anything if executive teams can’t find a way to incorporate the data into the management of their organization in a meaningful way. In this workshop, we’ll explore the data and analytics that your organization needs to maximize performance and discuss the keys to metrics-based management.
