There are so so many competing initiatives/projects/products. Often times ASO/pro services get priority when working with a client and build something (through Qlik/Tableau/PowerBI) when there's already a technology product that offers the same darn thing that can easily be installed and has the domain expertise behind that product. This kills morale and creates unnecessary tension between ASO and Tech/Product. Oh and not to mention, it kills the culture. Why do we compete with ourselves when we've got actual competitors to worry about? Really, it's just so INEFFICIENT and that's the most disappointing part. Even within tech/product itself, there are products that overlap that cause confusion on which product does what.
I'm also concerned with so many acquisitions lately. More around the culture of Catalyst. I'm afraid we're going to lose the Catalyst culture. Who's making sure these folks integrate well into the company?
The other thing that concerns me is that I don't feel comfortable speaking up in the department I work in. Leadership in that specific department is quite homogenous and it seems like they think the same and they all seem to just love to just constantly talk. There's no diversity and they don't encourage team members to speak up. HOWEVER, I do feel comfortable going to any executive leadership member to discuss any issues e.g. Dan B, Linda L, Patrick N, Paul H. They are AWESOME and genuinely listen to you when you go to them. But not the department I work in. I do feel like I'm a part of Health Catalyst, just not the department Iwork in - it's a strange feeling.
