Thank you for this thoughtful and updated review, and thank you also for your many contributions, over more than five years, as a leader at Health Catalyst! I'm really encouraged to hear of your perspective in areas where you can see meaningful progress, particularly in areas of focus for us around integrating our product and services groups and messages, and reinforcing that we are all on the same team and reliant on one another to achieve the mission.
I also agree with your thoughts about the importance of being proactive in managing career experiences and working with your manager, and that the 360-degree manager feedback process represents a really important opportunity for introspection and can facilitate continuous improvement. I am going to strive to use the feedback from my 360-degree review to improve in some specific ways, and I've already set some goals along those lines. We hope that every manager at Health Catalyst will follow a similar pattern.
Thank you also for your comments about kicking off initiatives and then ensuring that there is the follow-through and commitment and budget to support the initiatives that we pursue. I agree strongly, and we are striving to become more disciplined and consistent here, by using the annual planning process as a robust and data-informed process. Part of that process must include a review of what we've done thus far, what the results have been, and then a response and decision about where we will continue our current investment levels, which may be 80-90% of investment areas, but also where we will reduce our investment (perhaps 5-10% of areas) and where we will increase investment (also perhaps 5-10% of investment areas). We are working to finalize this as a leadership team for the 2020 operating plan process, over the next two weeks or so, to propose and discuss with the board, and then to communicate to all of our team members so we all know what decisions we've made. I believe this process will help us improve in this key area.
Thank you again for your commitment to Health Catalyst, for your many years of meaningful contributions to our success. I sincerely appreciate it. Best, Dan
