    Friday Focus: Planning, pursuing, prospering

    February 09, 2024

    Last week as I drove from my home to my office, to the grocery store, and back home through the thick ice fog in temperatures well below negative forty, I was reminded how blessed I was. I was in a warm car, driving on a well-plowed road, buying fresh groceries, and working through my daily chores - all because there were well-planned services and infrastructure in place. So many people, organizations and systems were involved in ensuring that I had what I needed to live a safe and good life. Planning is key to running any organization. Members of resilient and prospering organizations recognize that there are multiple paths to reach a goal. For any reason, if the first plan fails or is not optimal, there is wisdom in being nimble, pivoting, re-planning and pursuing a modified plan. This is what we do at UAF.
