W. Scott Erickson is a versatile healthcare management administrator and consultant experienced in working with physician group practices and community hospitals. He has a strong ability to build teams based on mission and goals, across specialty and department lines, involving all levels of staff and providers, and has a sound understanding of the economic engines necessary to keep healthcare organizations running well.

He received a MBA in Healthcare Administration from LaSalle University in Philadelphia in the mid-eighties while working at a residential school for learning and emotionally challenged students.

Scott observed that patients expect and seek "care" at every step in their office visit, and that few medical practices are able to render caring service consistently throughout the practice. His response was to begin to facilitate the development of effective, healthy work environments from which health could be dispensed from all encounters of the practice. In dealing with the "how," OPTIMUS works with the practice to identify its strengths and leverage those strengths to be able to confidently face the challenges keeping the group from accomplishing the organization's business goals and realizing their preferred future. His facilitative style is non-threatening and supportive of the natural development of people and organizations.

In 2002, after fifteen years of managing and leading medical group practices, Scott saw a need and an opportunity to express his facilitative leadership style in helping people and organizations development complimentary processes to achieve their goals. OPTIMUS evolved from (and is a d/b/a designation of) Health Care Management Concepts, Inc., (HCMC) a healthcare management/consulting practice providing contract medical practice management and consultative services to medical group practices in New England and upstate New York since 1997. Every work group or organization has two distinct components: "what" they do and "how" they do it, each component either complimenting or compromising the other. HCMC deals predominantly with the "what," OPTIMUS deals with the "how."

Professor Emeritus of Organizational Behavior, School of Management, Syracuse University

Dr. Gemmill has more than 35 years experience in organizational behavior and leadership studies. His extensive research and writings (many of which are available for download from the “Papers" link of our web site) challenge the old paradigm of "leaders" in "command and control" of their organizations and provide the scientific foundation for breakthroughs in leadership development. Gary's approach is grounded in experience---his ideas are an outgrowth of his consultancy in real work cases, group process facilitation, consultation, and executive personal growth retreats. His domain of expertise explores the “psychodynamics” of leadership, executive coaching, and intervening into emotional dynamics of groups. He is Professor Emeritus of Organizational Behavior, School of Management, Syracuse University, and coauthor of Team Mirroring: Illusions and Realities of Team Dynamics and Development, published by the Handley Group, Inc. His latest book with Dr. George Kraus, is entitled "A View from the Cosmic Mirror: Reflections of the Self in Everyday Life" (see TheCosmicMirror.org).
