About Us
Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Blue Cottage Consulting is an independent, woman-owned healthcare consulting firm specializing in visioning, strategy, operations, and facility planning (programming, design review, transition and activation planning).

Blue Cottage Consulting is different - we have vision, knowledge, experience, and a point of view. Our professionals have held executive and management positions at some of the best medical centers in the country. Most importantly, we seek projects and clients that want to transform healthcare.
 
Cottages are about relationships, respite, and reflection. Blue Cottage Consulting is about creating a space for our clients to think, dream, and truly see the ocean of possibilities that exist for any given project. We coach leaders to embrace the possibilities, balance real versus perceived risk, and articulate a bold strategic vision – in other words, Be Transformational.  We get to know you, we work alongside you, and we create an intimacy in our partnership that fosters honesty, challenge, and innovation. It is an exercise that brings out the best in you and your team so that together, we can discover breakthrough solutions with practical implementation, explore global concepts with local applicability, and clearly articulate what success looks like and how we are going to get there.
 
Our consulting professionals challenge the status quo by applying lean efficiency standards to reduce waste, achieve mind-blowing operational innovations, and create an environment where clinical teams can achieve their full potential. We combine robust analytic tools and performance-driven measurement metrics, with real-world experience and active listening techniques to allow both data and people to guide each project to its highest probability of success. Our capabilities come from graduate training in healthcare management, nursing, planning, and architecture, as well as certification and professional training in special skills such as lean operations, six sigma, and executive coaching.
 
We are Blue Cottage Consulting and we are working to transform healthcare one project at a time.

Here’s where we will be in October 2009: Dallas, TX; Ontario, Canada; Orlando, FL; New York, NY; Ann Arbor, MI; Philadelphia, PA; Los Angeles, CA; San Francisco, CA; Milwaukee, WI; Lafayette, IN; Vancouver, British Columbia and the list doesn’t even include layovers!

If you’d like to discuss how we might be able to create a better experience for your patients, a more efficient operation for your clinical teams, or a more exciting vision for future facilities, just let us know and we’ll hop-on-a-plane and pay you a visit!

The thing about blogs…

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009 by Juliet Rogers

Some people blog because they want to shout their opinions from an e-soapbox. At KHC, we take pride in doing things differently and we want our blog to be different too. This blog is your blog, our blog, THE blog. We want to create an online community, a chorus of viewpoints, an open forum for sharing “all things healthcare.” So if you do something better than everyone else, or can’t seem to fix your biggest problems, be brave and put it out there. C’mon, write something using our USER Soundoff section… Share a comment below each post… it only works if all contribute.
