Improve Healthcare Management! Intensive Training Course for Next

The hosting of the "Intensive Training Course for Next-Generation Leaders" organized by Nikkei Medical goes beyond a mere opportunity for skill enhancement,symbolizing that "the key to medical practice continuity has completely shifted from clinical practice to management."In the current healthcare industry, advanced management decisions such as responding to frequent revisions in medical fees and promoting DX are essential, and the presence or absence of next-generation talent capable of handling these directly determines the survival of an organization.

In the context of healthcare M&A and business succession, the absence of these "next-generation leaders" is the biggest motivation for choosing third-party succession. Not only in cases where succession within the family is difficult,but also "the lack of a capable second-in-command"can be a factor that lowers the valuation in the calculation of the transfer price due to "personal dependency risk." Conversely, utilizing opportunities like this course to enhance the management literacy of successors and executives is a strategic investment to maximize future transfer value (goodwill).

For executives facing succession issues, we recommend viewing succession not merely as a "passing of the baton," butas an opportunity for "professionalizing management."If in-house training is difficult due to time constraints, M&A, which can inject external management expertise, should be redefined as an effective management tool for modernizing the organization.
