Episode 105: Managing Competing Priorities and Staying True to Your Strategic Plan

Medical Money Matters with Jill Arena

In this episode, we’re tackling an issue that every medical group, big or small, has faced: managing competing priorities while staying true to your strategic plan. This topic hits home for so many of us because the very nature of healthcare—fast-paced, dynamic, and unpredictable—makes it difficult to juggle everything effectively. But what happens when you’re also trying to stay aligned with a strategic vision?

For medical groups, managing competing priorities can be especially challenging because we’re not just dealing with external pressures, but also the internal dynamics of physician leadership teams. Every leader comes with their own perspectives, ideas, and passion projects. And often, each person feels like their idea is the one that deserves time, attention, and resources. This makes sense—physicians are problem-solvers by nature. They see an issue and want to fix it. But when every idea feels urgent, and every project is deemed critical, how do you decide what truly deserves a place on the agenda?

We’ll explore how to keep your strategic plan alive and actionable, manage new priorities as they arise, and create an organizational culture that prioritizes focus without stifling innovation. By the end of this episode, you’ll have tools to manage competing priorities without derailing your strategic plan—or your leadership team.
