ADBI Introduces Four Assessment Tools

We collaborated with the Aging and Disability Business Institute at USAging to develop four assessments, which were produced in conjunction with Collaborative Consulting. These four tools build on our partnership readiness assessment to provide community-based organizations (CBOs) with a robust suite of self-service tools for working with healthcare providers and payers.

The tools are available for free on the Business Institute’s website (registration required) and are designed to guide CBOs through four different assessment processes:

• External Market Assessment: Helps organizations better understand the healthcare landscape, identify market trends, and recognize major players in the market. This information will help inform an organization’s strategy for approaching partnerships and contracts.
• Opportunity Assessment: Provides a framework for capturing initial ideas for partnership opportunities and helps organizations revisit and assess both existing and new opportunities to determine which ones to prioritize and pursue.
• Guides organizations through identifying and understanding competitors in their local markets. The goal is to help CBOs secure partnerships by differentiating themselves from others.
• Building the Business Case for Partnership: Helps organizations develop a compelling case for a partnership to gain a partner’s interest and increase the likelihood of continued conversations and engagement.

You can learn more and download all four tools – along with the original Readiness Assessment and the Business Institute’s other resources for aging and disability CBOs – at the ADBI site (free registration required).
