Looking to
streamline project delivery healthcare providers look to partners, like
yourselves, to provide solutions, share expertise, deliver innovations and help
overcome challenges.
While
healthcare project investment and innovation is at an all-time high; driven by
the enlightened and technologically savvy customer as well as by recent exposés
into the quality of care being provided, Australia is a small market on the
global scale and competition for these lucrative contracts high.
With this
in mind we picked the brains of four leaders in the healthcare space to learn
more about what they look for when scouting for project partners. Read on to
explore insights from NSW Health Infrastructure, Children’s Health Queensland
and Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service.

Most
solution providers start with a single product and through experience they
learn about customer need. Adding value to their existing products, they
introduce new, but related products to the product line. For a long time it has
been believed that bundling products with related services creates a solution.
This at best though makes for an interesting pitch.
A true
solution provider will however never start with what they can sell, and instead looks at what they can
solve. To truly provide a solution you
need to look at customer needs holistically, understand market gaps, emerging
trends and harness customer insights – especially with the recent uptick in
customer expectations driven by the amount of choice available in the modern
market. Ideally an effective solution provider will successfully address not
just current challenges, but those hitherto unrecognised by their customer
base.
