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.

Blue Cottage Consulting provides operationally-focused facility planning services for all types of medical practices and health-related facilities.  We use a highly interactive workshop format to foster future-focused excitement and encourage widespread involvement among your executives, board members, physicians, nurses, and staff.  Our programming services go well beyond excel spreadsheets – all basic programming efforts include a systems-based approach, flow mapping, best practice benchmarking, and other Blue Cottage Consulting signature services. Our planning involvement often continues through schematic design (in partnership with the architect of the client's choice), ensuring that the operational efficiencies and functional goals are realized in the final facility plans.  To ensure that the vision and excitement that was the foundation of your project at the very beginning is not lost in the final push, we have a team of transition and activation planners ready to immerse themselves alongside your managers and front line staff to ensure that you are operationally and strategically prepared to move into your new building and realize the benefits of your investment.
