If you're a medical, health care or senior administrative professional leading a business or program team, you know that implementing strategy well can be a struggle. 

The right things never seem to get done, or at least you're not aware of it. You don't see obstacles until they appear because you are too busy reacting to problems or changes. You can't find the time to focus on the work that will actually help you move the needle closer to the future you want.  Your team, if you have one, does not have the time to take on one more of the many projects piling up on the side of their desk, and if you are completely honest, you are not 100% confident these projects will help you implement and drive your program and organization's strategy and vision to reality.  

Maybe the admin professional you just hired is full of potential but is not fully equipped to lead high-impact projects yet and you just don't have the time to train or mentor them...and to make matters worse, the processes that would help them step in and hit the road running do not exist...so you end up doing it yourself because it's so much easier.  

Achieving Strategic  Outcomes Should Not Be So Hard!

Imagine Instead

  • You and your admin team were focused on the right things and the destination was clear.
  • They knew why it was important, what success looked like and who was responsible for what.
  • Obstacles were transparent so you could help remove the most important ones in a timely manner.
  • You had capacity to think ahead and adjust when needed so your project stayed on course
  • There was efficient use of resources and communication was good.

What would it mean to you if your admin team's hard work...

led to positive impact in the lives of the people you serve?  Set your projects up to successfully accelerate your program's impact by:

  • Focusing on the most important outcomes and projects that will help move your strategic outcome forward.

  • Spending your time on proactively removing obstacles getting in the way of your program and project's real success.

  • Creating an environment where your team is empowered to lead regardless of role?

Meet Our Founder

Hi.  I am Marianne Bell,  CEO and principal consultant, coach and trainer with over 25 years of experience working within the Saskatchewan healthcare, technology and medical education industry. During this time I have held various roles from medical secretary, payroll specialist, digital project manager, information systems manager, technology strategist, and senior manager which uniquely position me to be your guide to project success and strategy delivery.

Our Vision

Every professional who dreams of improving the lives of the people their program serves is getting an Impact Accelerator Roadmap. 

Our Mission

To be a trusted strategic business partner that helps professionals (physicians, healthcare, administrative, project, program and portfolio ) keep their health care and education program management and projects on track to solve real problems, deliver tangible, lasting value and drive strategic outcomes for meaningful positive impact.

In a 2017 survey commissioned by the Project Management Institute's (PMI) Brightline Initiative, 90% of respondents from around the world admit they fail to achieve all their strategic goals because they don't implement well. I founded Impact OBM because I believe Your Dream Matters and wanted to transition from helping one organization achieve their strategic goals to helping many.  The more program admin that become self-sufficient in project management and leadership, the more their projects will deliver a ripple effect of positive impact to the people their programs and organizations serve.
