Greg Cantrell and Paige Havens join Rick for a discussion on how the March 19, 2019 transit referendum gives Gwinnett a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in their future. Greg and Paige are residents, business owners, and community leaders that are voluntarily serving on the GO Gwinnett Advocacy Committee. GO Gwinnett is a ballot committee registered with the Gwinnett County Board of Elections and the Georgia Government Transparency & Campaign Finance Commission with a mission to seek passage of the March 19, 2019 transit referendum.

The Gwinnett transit referendum on March 19, 2019 is about one thing – guaranteeing the future success of Gwinnett County. Gwinnett County has seen impressive growth over the last 30 years and it is time to build a transportation system that matches it. Constant traffic and gridlock are jeopardizing the long-term vitality of Gwinnett.

Expanding access to transit and offering new transit options are essential to making Gwinnett County a better place to live, work, and raise a family. It will make lives easier, ensure smarter growth, and make Gwinnett more competitive with other counties in attracting high-wage jobs. It will offer more independence and inclusion for seniors and disabled residents. It will offer greater access to education and entertainment which helps keep millennials in Gwinnett.

LEADER DIALOGUE: Thriving in the Age of Consumerism with Lee Health System

00:00 /

Lee Health System has embarked upon an accelerated Baldrige Performance Excellence journey to drive exceptional results, further expanding their position as the preferred healthcare system of choice in Southwest Florida.

Dr. Alex Daneshmand explains the origins of the Lee Health System journey, why they chose SOAR Vision Group and Danu Performance Solutions to guide and support them on this accelerated transformation journey, and the key ingredients for success.

The consumerism war is won on the battlefield of customer experience. E-commerce access to any product or service regardless of location has significantly increased the speed of competition, forcing organizations to dramatically accelerate production, delivery, and customer service processes. What organizations do not have is time. Instead, they have be able to rapidly progress from strategy to results. For some business leaders the idea of engaging in disciplined thought and action to build a sustainably competitive and differentiated organization seems untenable. The opposite is true. Now more than ever prioritized action, removing process inefficiencies, and empowering employees to act like owners in the pursuit of a customer first, zero-defect journey, is essential for survival now and sustainable success in the future.

Lee Health System understands this and has embarked upon an accelerated performance excellence journey to thrive in the Age of Consumerism.
