Abstract:

Jane Leader, president of Simsbury General Hospital, was reviewing the recommendations put together by her senior management team to resolve the growing problems her hospital was facing. The recommendations, totaling some $10 million, could put the hospital back on a sound financial footing. But Jane was unsure which of the recommendations made sense and should be implemented. She was particularly interested in understanding the financial, operational and political impact of each one.  She was due to meet with the senior management team that afternoon to develop an action plan.
