Today is daddy's birthday. I sure miss him. I say a quick happy birthday, daddy, prayer and then I roll out the company organizational chart.
Today's one-on-one orientation meeting is with the strategy director. This woman is all about the planning. She talks explains what a COPN is and that Virginia is a COPN state. She also talks about some very exciting research and tools being conducted and used in medicine. I get excited and remember why I wanted to be a part of the team.
Market assessments, demographics, healthcare trends, capitol projects, technology assessments and market share reports. She is talking business. I am ready to run out the door tearing out my locs as head for the parking lot.
I smile, thank her for her time, shake her hand and run for the nearest exit.
I feel much the same way when these things come up! I can tell you that I've always been so impressed with how closely tied our teams are to these strategic planning tools. I came from a place where marketing/PR was very siloed from any strategic thinking or sharing of processes, goals, etc. Sometimes the data is overwhelming but we are so lucky to have it!
