Abstract

Residency Select, LLC provides psychometric assessments for matching medical students to residency programs. After a series of successful pilots, founder Alan Friedman is considering whether to continue developing his offerings in this area, or whether to expand into new areas in the healthcare field, including offering assessments for administrative or executive positions. The case provides a walkthrough of the decision-making process of a young firm making a strategic leap, and how Friedman weighs many factors, including his own personal mission and desires. Friedman is also an alumnus of HBS’s “Launching New Ventures” Executive Education program, and the case discusses how he makes use of the lessons from that course.
