I enjoyed reading the book. I found it to be a concise, practical, easy to read and useful resource for healthcare executives and managers who aim to lead their organization with impact. Manish Kohli, MD, MPH, MBA, FHIMSS, Chair, Global Board of Directors, HIMSS A critical read for healthcare organizations struggling with change management. The real-world stories bring the lessons articulated in this read to life. Michael J Mirro, MD, FACC, FHRS, FAHA, FACP, Senior VP Parkview Health System, Chief Academic - Research Officer, Past Chair, American College of Cardiology HIT committee In this analysis of the Agile journey of two corporate players in the Healthcare space, John and Lauren have hit the ball out of the park! With multiple engagements, I have worked to implement Agile in the dynamic healthcare industry and this guidance would have helped tremendously. When we started Blue Agile, a national group of Blue Cross Blue Shield Agilists, this was what we were searching for -- practical information for fast, simple consumption and application. One thing I have learned, and that this book teaches, is that it is not enough to have Agile projects. To survive and thrive you must become more Agile and there is a reasonable well-worn path to follow. I recommend this for standard reading at the Academy of Healthcare Management. Steve McGee, PMP/PMP-ACP/PAHM/CHC/CPHP/CSM/SPC4/ICP, Senior Managing Consultant, IBM I thoroughly enjoyed learning about this alternative type of project management in the healthcare profession. The team approach and emphasis on a creative trusting environment was very helpful. Patricia Gilbreath, MD, San Diego, CA If you lack an underlying commitment to 'self-mastery' and growth, the best theory won't help you succeed. The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else. Desire is the standing point of all achievement. Enterprise Agility in Healthcare will set the pathway to a different mindset to improving your leadership role.

Mix -- editor in chief/owner of LM Editing -- whether in the role of editor, ghostwriter, or co-author, has a unique background that makes her a valuable asset to technically sophisticated books. When editing, she works on selected projects where her background provides more than just proofreading. The manuscripts she edits involve collaborations where her value as a neutral and independent expert adds to the competence of the author, assisting in the struggle to find the clearest, most accessible way to create maximum knowledge transfer for the reader. Lauren’s career experience allows her to add insight to existing content and expand it to reach the full potential audience. Because she goes beyond mere copyediting and understands the technical jargon of the content, she is able to compile a comprehen- sive index and glossary with less guidance from authors than other editors, giving authors more time to focus on their tasks. Lauren has also taken on the additional role of ghost-writer where she has either contributed valuable input to an author’s content, expanding on their existing concepts with her knowledge of the subject, or turned thought patterns and ideas into comprehensive text, targeted at the specific audience desired. Recently, Lauren has added the role of co-author to her resume. She created Distilled Insight, a  series that focuses on bringing specific knowledge points to executives in a fast-paced, high-value manner to expedite content compre- hension  and  application.  In  addition  to  being  the  lead author,  she  has  also developed  the  structure  of  the  books,  arranged  and  organized  the content, and worked closely with graphic design on the contained images and with the publisher to ensure on-time completion. Lauren is a very focused, driven individual who does not shy away from any challenge. She relishes opportunities to learn new skills then hones them to increase her value in the field. With exceptionally strong organizational skills and self-discipline, Lauren is able to manage multiple projects simultaneously with ease.
