However, one email was a from a CIO of a mid-sized, multi-facility institution that recently lost his job, because of all things…he was too focused to strategy. After spending some time writing back and forth, I decided that I wanted to revisit the concepts we discussed last month, and briefly talk about how…although we strive to learn how to manage strategically, we cannot allow ourselves to lose sight of the tactical responsibilities that we carry with us. This podcast is being used for my feature at ADVANCE for Health Information Executives as well.
