ORGANIZATIONAL ACTION PROJECT
The focus of the Haslam College of Business’s Executive
MBA for Healthcare Leadership program is twofold:
helping you learn and delivering a significant return
on investment to your organization. You will spend the
entire year analyzing an issue facing your organization
that is outside of your day-to-day responsibilities. The
Organizational Action Project (OAP) will allow you to
extend your knowledge and deepen insights into your
organization and the healthcare industry. You will work
with a faculty advisor as you research, structure, and
implement the project. This thesis-like undertaking
has delivered considerable returns on investment for
sponsors and is a great example of the immediate
application that the Executive MBA for Healthcare
Leadership program offers.
“Working with the committed and
knowledgeable faculty, I was able to
develop a business plan and secure
financing with my Organizational Action
Project that has resulted in a memory care
expansion for my organization—creating a
new revenue stream and service line.”
—Rhonda Stewart

about the public policy making process and its implications
for the healthcare sector. Trends in healthcare spending, the
politics of healthcare reform, and current developments in
healthcare policy are discussed with government officials,
public policy experts, and media specialists.

Business’s award-winning Physician EMBA program.
