CEI Strategy Development
What is a Strategic plan? What purpose does it serve? • A robust and compelling plan that guides the organization as a whole toward the realization of the mission and informs decisions about resource investment, operations, and people • A “sticky” story that provides a common context: it tells where we are going and when and why and how each person’s efforts contribute to our success • A call to action grounded in our mission: our commitment to making a difference for those we serve and having impact on the way health care is provided
VALUE TO STAKEHOLDERS Board Planning horizon:

The Planning Process Engagement as strategy
In February 2007, the Board conducted a SWOT analysis and identified three mandates:
1. Achieve and maintain operational excellence 2. Grow and expand PACE 3. Explore and implement new markets and new products • In Summer 2007, the chiefs discussed and considered the Board’s charge and decided to engage Claros Group for a more robust process • Claros Group involvement began in early fall of 2007, the chiefs discussed the functional purpose of a strategic plan and developed a strategic framework. Recognizing the benefits and necessity of involving others in crafting the goals and objectives, they committed to a strategy of engagement • In November and December 2007, the CEO and COO hosted staff meetings to build a shared understanding of the history of growth and accomplishments of CEI and the PACE business model and solicited input on what it would take to achieve the three strategic imperatives • Between late February and early June 2008, over 30 directors, managers and coordinators participated in a series of planning meetings to generate vision, values, goals, and objectives for achieving operational excellence. Applying systems thinking, participants also identified the underlying structures, beliefs or assumptions that are blocking movement toward the vision • In May, the development planning staff joined direct service directors and managers to map out a streamlined and standardized approach to opening a new site • Between April and June, the Executive Team developed a strategic IT plan, significant financial systems, a performance dashboard, and recommendations for an evolving management structure * Bolded purple text indicates document to follow

Benefits of collaborative approach to Strategy Development We know that as organizations grow in size and complexity and experience leadership transitions, people often struggle with issues of trust, cohesion, and alignment. CEI leadership chose a collaborative approach because we believe that people contribute their best when they have information, influence, shared identity and pride, and confidence in leadership. Beyond the great thinking that informed the development of this plan, we have seen other benefits: LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
This planning process was led by the COO and a core team of directors who framed the questions, facilitated the discussions, and modeled transparency, respectful listening, and rigorous inquiry DELIBERATIVE SKILLS
More than 30 CEI leaders participated in over 20 hours of participatory discussion and collaborative decision-making. To date, 15 leaders have been trained in the ToP method of participatory planning. The workshop method has become a part of CEI’s culture
COMMITMENT People commit to what they co-create. Because chiefs, directors, managers, and coordinators
generated recommendations for goals and objectives, they have ownership and will be able to model and communicate the ideas and the thinking behind them
ALIGNMENT
Through this approach CEI has created a robust and compelling plan that can guide decisionmaking about resource investment, operations, and people. Each manager understands how the strategies and goals and objectives map to his/her department, job, and daily actions
CROSS-FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIONS
Accountants and social workers, transportation and IT, nurses and development planning staff, HR and intake, 15 year veterans and new hires brought their different perspectives, built on common values and discovered their interdependencies

UNDERLYING CONTRADICTIONS Contradictions are blocks and barriers that prevent us from realizing our vision. They include external policies, patterns or structures and internal assumptions, perceptions or mindsets that get in the way of progress towards our vision. In a very challenging set of discussions, CEI leaders examined their history, their culture, and their challenges to identify the following patterns: Contradictions:
1. Competing priorities resulting in inefficient deployment of staff resources 2. Siege mentality and emphasis on short-term needs prevents attention to communication and teamwork needs 3. Conflicting regulations and inconsistent interpretation by regulators 4. Fear that growth and standardization mean loss of individuality and family atmosphere 5. Fear of considering cost over quality and the belief that better quality is associated with cost

II. Grow and Expand PACE Goals & Objectives: 18-36 months
What is the Opportunity for Expanding PACE? CEI has a market penetration of about 11% in our existing service area which stretches from El Sobrante to South Hayward. That means we serve only 1 out of 9 dually eligible (Medi-Cal and Medicare) seniors living in our service area
WHAT IS OUR PLAN FOR GROWTH? 1. Open PACE Programs within our service area: Hayward and Richmond
• A Richmond site has been selected and the city and community have been quite supportive. Design has begun and we expect the site to open in 2010 • A Hayward site is still under research. A possible smaller site has been identified. Since we would not be able to build a significant amount of affordable senior housing on site, staff is researching affordable senior housing in the area 2. Streamline and standardize our site planning and start up process
A planning workshop with operations and development staff identified the steps in the process for opening a new PACE site. Our development team has drafted a streamlined Gant chart showing the specific duties of each department. See chart, next page 3. Be aware of and ameliorate competition and market exclusion by Organized Health Systems and other detractors.
This will require greater vigilance and activity in the public policy arena.

III. New Business Development Goals & Objectives: 12-24 months Why grow beyond PACE? Demographics: Seniors are the most rapidly growing segment of the population and the number of people over 65 will double in the next 20 years. The fragmented, disjointed and inefficient non-system that exists today is poorly suited to serve this large bulge of the “boomer” generation. Funding Uncertainties: There is continuing uncertainty about the PACE Medi-Cal and Medicare rates. In some states, with the rise of home and community-based services (HCBS
are generally cheaper than SNFs) the Medicaid rate for PACE has plummeted. There is some risk that the basis for a percentage of fee-for-service methodology to determine PACE Medicaid rates will erode dramatically. Without other revenue streams, the PACE program itself would be threatened.
WHAT NEW OPPORTUNITIES ARE WE EXPLORING? Expansion in service area
It takes about five years to launch a PACE center in a non-adjoining geographic area. The greatest concentrations of seniors in adjacent service areas are in Pittsburg/Bay Point/Antioch and Vallejo areas. Since Vallejo is in a third county, we will be beginning to cultivate the Contra Costa county areas in the next two years • Complete market research of the area including Pittsburg Bay Point and Vallejo. See map, next page • Develop relationships with Contra Costa County officials, providers and affordable housing entities the way we have with Alameda County groups • Recruit Contra Costa board members • Apply for zip codes through Antioch when we apply for the Richmond PACE center in Fall of 2008 • Begin a site search in the Pittsburg/Antioch area in late 2008

Fulfilling our Mission Our mission includes finding many different ways to help seniors retain their independence and stay living in a place they call home. Not only does that include expanding the PACE program, it includes developing new products that reach seniors who are not quite yet eligible for PACE or seniors from the middle class who are not on Medi-Cal but need help to stay at home. This means considering product and service development; options include: • Combine PACE with the Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model • Given a trend of middle and upper income seniors are engaging private care managers to help them manage their care, evaluate the Continuing Care at Home model for use by CEI • Look into opening our own assisted living Board and Care facility It means looking at new markets: • • • •
Working poor Middle Class Veterans Developmentally Disabled
Goals for the next 12 – 24 Months: • Continue to work towards the development of the Encinal Project in the City of Alameda. This would combine PACE with a CCRC model for middle income people • Look into developing minimal assisted living (B&C) units with the Hayward PACE center • Research other organizational structures

IV. Organizational Evolution It is time to stabilize the executive team and to design team roles for individual and collective success. We have recognized the need to build our operational infrastructure -the processes, procedures and systems that will support our current programs and those we will open over the next 5 years. It is equally important to evolve our management structure in a way that will drive results, reinforce accountability, and manage risk.
A. STructure & Succession 1. Roles & Functional Responsibilities
• We propose to move the QM function under the new CMO • As our interim CFO completes her charge of building out Finance systems and Health Plan functions, we will move toward hiring a permanent CFO. • In recognition that information systems will result in needed efficiencies that then enhance our ability to deliver high quality care and services, we will hire a permanent CTO • With the expanded demands of a fifth site, we will recommend elevating HR leadership to a chief level • With the expanded demands of a fifth site, we propose to shift responsibility for Compliance to the CFO 2. Transitional Plans
Our interim chiefs have been building the systems and processes critical to our future. As they complete the work they came to do, they will develop transition plans that ensure continuity and forward momentum
B. Managing for Results 1. Risk Management Dashboard
Our success and stability depend on our ability to effectively manage risk. This requires clear accountabilities, timely and consistent measuring and monitoring of key indicators, and early and effective response
