About Us

Founded in 2010 by Prof. Dr. Katharina Janus the Center for Healthcare Management has merged with ENJOY STRATEGY in 2023. ENJOY STRATEGY is a research and consulting company based in Paris, offering domain expertise in global healthcare markets.

The Center was founded as a global organization of leading experts beyond the core team of analysts and strategists. ENJOY STRATEGY continues its focus on healthcare strategy, convening decision-makers in focused forums, and offering tailor-made executive training.

Over the course of its history the Center has been engaged in many global projects to make healthcare systems more efficient and to improve organizational performance. We have also initiated the Care-Tank, merging think-tanks and do-tanks.

Thinking together to connect the dots and reap results has determined our research and convening engagements. As a reference and to celebrate major moments of our history you can find documentation on our annual forums on this site.
