This is a quick post, my ride will be here shortly. I have had a crazy week at work. I was at an off-site for 4 days and, in the evenings, grappling with catching up on work initiatives. We have 3 significant programs launching in the next month so things are hectic.
I did manage to have a informative phone call with a key stakeholder that was both “good” and “bad”. The positive aspect was clear commitment to partner with me on data collection. The challenge was there are no existing channels to do my survey!! We both agreed to brainstorm and he has already sent some information.
I can add one more positive though. As I have been thinking about a range of issues (data collection challenges, desire to provide a unique contribution, managing scope etc.) I came up with a unique adjustment that may just work to address all three. Hopefully, I will have more on this next week. If it works out this will be a significant “aha” for me. I spent a good part of today writing -redoing my abstract, starting my November Colloquium deck, updating my project plan. Think the act of writing and reflecting has led me to an elegant solution…
