Health Catalyst Response
9yThanks for the review! Agree that we are going through these challenges as a company. In fact, I was in one of our small-group lunches just this week with several team members, and your point about isolation and low cohesion was raised and discussed. Here are just a few thoughts that came from that discussion regarding things we are working on to combat/mitigate this. One is a notion that we "cross-invite" certain members of one team to join the regular team meetings of another related, but separate team, for a period of time, allowing greater interaction. This is an idea we are early in exploring (as of yesterday! :)
The second discussion was around the Open Space initiative that is going on here at Health Catalyst right now. If you have not had a chance to attend, or have not yet been invited, talk to someone on the platform team, where this initiative started, and they can get you into it. Anyone at Health Catalyst is invited, all are encouraged to attend. As a Senior Software Engineer, you may already be all over this, but thought this was a good forum to plug Open Space, as I think it is awesome! In fact, I am five minutes late for opening circle! Heading there now! Thanks again for the review!
