End Of Week Reflection

We completed so much this week its hard to keep them in a short list. Overall the visibility of the IT department is much greater than it has ever been. This will keep trust and communication at the highest level for growth and development

The rift between our department and Engineering. I have not had the opportunity to fully address this with Robbie, but with the help of Mike I was able to establish that my communication could be improved to help in narrowing the gap.

I am happy with our growth from last week to today. We completed a lot more goals and tasks.

I will continue to provide transparency within my department, and focus on creating fantastic innovations for Western Steel as a whole.

Prior to a phone call, IT had already been working on integrating a zero impact AI model for testing and education. After that phone call, it was awesome to know that we were ahead of the curve in proper innovation.

Feedback and questions are always helpful to design and implement SOPs and Organize the department to a well oiled machine. Continued feedback, inclusion in meetings, and utilizing the departments open door policy for questions, concerns, ideas, and collaboration. All hands meetings weekly or bi weekly to improve relationships within each department. We are all busy, but we are all working together towards the same goal.

Although I fell short this week in using the
