It's been a long dry spell as to my posting to this Blog...for a number of reasons. Numerous changes within the IT Org at MDC has kept my focus and time elsewhere...and then there's just pure laziness I guess....
Wow, lots of things new for me as I moved back into the Network Services program administration role and assumed the duties of the Telephony and Radio (Telecommunications) Program. Catching up on the projects the Network folks have been working on was dwarfed by the need to learn more about the Telecommunications efforts. Ya know, you think you have an idea as to what's going on and generally the basics of what someone is doing....I'm hear to tell you...you really DON'T until you walk in their shoes.
So now that the small re-org has taken place.... what changes for you? Initally not too much and that should have been evident for those of you that are keeping score. But, going forward, now that I've had a little time to acclimate myself to the programs---I see some definate need to re-evaluate some direction, programs, and processes we do. Anything and everything is possible....the intent of any changes of course are to improve Conservation. So that will be my focus....how can we do that. What changes can we implement that will bring about faster service, better service, improved response time, allow us to have more time for R&D, get more done, bring new technologies to bear, etc......all a focus moving forward.
I'm interested in opinions, thoughts, perspectives...general input from those involved in any "Network Services" Program. You can have a say in the future direction, but only if you're willing to speak up. I'm visiting with staffers internal to these programs and even external folks to gleen insight...I'll use those thoughts to help mold improvements down the road. So if you have something to say----I'd love to hear it. Look at it this way.....if you could change anything in this group....what would that be?
Will there be changes? You bet! When, how much, how wide spread, etc will be part of the evaluation and subsequent planning stages. But, I'm convinced that change is neeeded.
What part of that change are you going to be? Are you going to be one that is driving that change for improvements...or are you going to sit back and leave the driving to someone else? Be forewarned those who ride could incur a charge---perhaps you'll recall an older adage: "No one rides for free..." I read an article yesterday titled: "Who's Driving Quality Today?"...as I read that I thought of the work we do here....ask yourself that question---Is the answer you?
The point is...we are going to implement some change...you can either be an active partner in bringing about that change or you can be pulled along dragging, kicking, and screaming. Change is inevitable....if we're not changing, we're standing still...and I see little value in standing still.
There shall be more discussion on this topic in the coming days, weeks, months....some here on this Blog...some in person. Stay tuned, be alert, be aware, be a part....of the future.
(For the readers in the crowd...consider Driving Change )
