4. Points to Ponder
WIN A PRIZE! This is an extension to an earlier competition.
Most organizations, including ours, innovate and improve through addition. All staff regularly bring up ideas of what we could add to our services that would make the Program better. Of equal or greater value are suggestions on what we need to stop doing (innovation through subtraction).
Tell us at least three things we have the authority/ability to remove that would make the Program better – no suggestion is too small!
Three names will be randomly drawn from all respondents on August 31. Prizes are your choice of a $20 gift card from the Atrium food services, The Running Room, or Sobeys.
Replies by email to pjoudrey@sbgh.mb.ca please.
If you have any points that you want to pass to the rest of the Program and/or have feedback, please contact Paul Joudrey pjoudrey@sbgh.mb.ca or 204.237.2743
