The CHCG Team’s 2018 Intentions

Whether working on-site with clients, completing optimization assessments, blogging, spearheading new business development, writing client reports, developing reports, assisting with RFP/vendor selections or performing a plethora of other duties, the CHCG team is a diverse group of professionals who excel at what they do. The group has more than 170 years of combined experience in industries ranging from healthcare and insurance finance, to transportation, retail, e-commerce, political campaigns, government and IT. They have worked in large global centers, as well as small niche markets. Their varied backgrounds have provided CHCG the unique ability to provide fresh, data-driven perspectives to clients in order to drive ROI.

We asked everyone to tell us: 1) What you are leaving behind in 2017? And, 2) What is your intention in 2018 (see Christa’s past newsletter on setting intention)?
