ZEQ, which specializes in consulting in the hospital sector, is breaking new ground together with the Board Academy, founded in 2009, a provider of training, networking and placement for advisory boards and supervisory boards. Together they support the training, composition, orientation and staffing of supervisory boards and advisory boards in hospitals, large public, private and non-profit associations as well as large nursing facilities.

“The future is digital and integrated into economically and socially complex ecosystems,” is how Dr. Nico Kasper, board member at ZEQ, and Guido Happe, founder of the Board Academy, the prospects for collaboration. Clinics are critical to the system and at the same time find themselves in a constant area of tension between obligation and demand for care, especially with regard to the issues of profitability, personnel and organization. “In the future, we see a reflective and systemic composition of supervisory boards as the solution to ensure holistic excellence in breadth and depth at all times,” says Guido Happe, summing up the situation. “But we are not only concerned with the issue of supervisory boards, but also with the use of advisory boards. “These find a valuable place alongside the supervisory board as a source of inspiration and an active sparring partner for topics such as organization, personnel, digital or optimization of the business model,” adds Happe.

“The Board Academy, with the largest network of personalities for supervisory and advisory board work, is the ideal partner to support our clinics and networks and to fill committees. “It also acts as a driver for committee work in Germany in the future,” describes Dr. Kasper the decision. The clinics can therefore access a uniquely broad network of management personalities from a wide range of industries. “I am very pleased that we can work together with ZEQ as a thought leader in the German hospital scene on what we consider to be such a central topic. I see this as a unique opportunity to actively support the socially and socio-politically crucial area of medical care,” says Guido Happe, emphasizing his excitement for what’s to come.
