Business of Tech: Daily 10-Minute IT Services Insights Maximizing Efficiency: How T2 Group Uses Hybrid Agile in Healthcare Solutions with Kevin Torf
Kevin Torf, co-founder and managing partner of T2 Group, discusses the unique approach his organization takes in delivering technology solutions to the healthcare industry. T2 Group focuses on providing a comprehensive set of services, including professional consulting, managed services, contact center operations, resource management, and software development. With a team of around 100 employees, T2 Group has established long-term relationships with major healthcare providers across the United States, emphasizing the importance of understanding both technology and the business aspects of healthcare.
Torf highlights the significance of building teams with a diverse skill set that includes not only technical expertise but also business acumen and healthcare specialization. He explains that T2 Group employs a flat organizational structure that fosters collaboration and agility, allowing them to adapt to the unique needs of each project. This approach contrasts with traditional project management methods, which can be more hierarchical and rigid. By utilizing a hybrid agile methodology, T2 Group can effectively balance the need for flexibility with the compliance demands inherent in the healthcare sector.
The conversation delves into the challenges of implementing technology in a conservative and risk-averse environment like healthcare. Torf acknowledges that while many healthcare organizations recognize the potential of technology, they often face financial constraints and the need for careful planning and governance. He emphasizes the importance of patience and gradual cultural shifts within organizations to embrace new methodologies and technologies, which can ultimately lead to improved patient experiences and operational efficiencies.
Torf also discusses how T2 Group ties its projects to business outcomes, helping clients navigate the complexities of funding and resource allocation in healthcare. By understanding the financial structures of different healthcare institutions, T2 Group can tailor its solutions to meet specific operational needs. This strategic alignment not only enhances the effectiveness of technology implementations but also supports the overall mission of healthcare organizations to provide better patient care.
