I have just spent the entire day finalizing my interview schedule for the qualitative component of my study. I had already completed some preliminary questions, but true to form it took much longer than anticipated. I am looking forward to this stage of research. Although my sample is small, it should yield meaningful data. I am especially interested to get their insights on leadership across the CU System and also reactions to some of my preliminary quantitative findings.
I had a very intense work week. The intensity was primarily driven by a very comprehensive financial planning process for 2013 and some unplanned restructuring work. I also facilitated a meaningful session on cultivating trust with my department, which was quite satisfying. The week ahead is going to involve travel, more full court press!!
