Mosaic’s Strategic Growth is a Vision for the Future By Randall Donner This past summer, Mosaic announced the acquisition of Prileo, an in-home supports provider, by Soreo, our subsidiary in Arizona. Then in the fall, Mosaic announced the acquisition of Momentum, a disability services provider in Maine, by Living Innovations, our subsidiary in Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Growth is part of Mosaic’s strategic plan for a successful future. Occasionally, though, people ask, “Why?” Why does Mosaic acquire other provider organizations? Here’s the answer. Mosaic is an organization grounded in the call to love and serve people. Mosaic is driven by the belief that people want and deserve quality services, and Mosaic’s person-centered approach works well in helping people achieve their own goals and dreams. When other organizations become part of Mosaic, it is not about growing for growth’s sake, but instead it is about expanding the mission to serve more people. Organizations seek to become part of Mosaic for a variety of reasons: • They are looking for a trusted partner • They need additional resources and expertise • Their leadership is retiring • They need support with changing regulations and uncertain funding Mosaic is strategic in its growth plan— organizations must have a good reputation in the community, have integrity and be in a financial position that strengthens the Mosaic network. Mosaic already provides services to approximately 5,000 people, and that is the first priority always. Recently, when sharing news about an acquisition with staff and why some happen while others don’t, Mosaic President and CEO Linda Timmons said this: “Mosaic has a strong reputation for responding to the needs of people and communities. When you align our mission and vision with our growth plan, there are opportunities that are a great fit, and there are some that are not. While saying ‘no’ to a growth opportunity is challenging, saying ‘yes’ to the right opportunity positions Mosaic to grow in ways that are enhancing our mission.” The bottom line behind growth at Mosaic is strengthening the services already offered, so Mosaic is sustainable for the long-term future. 10 | Promise
