Lee Coulter, the CEO of Ascension Health Ministry Service Center whose team won 2 awards this past March for Culture Creation and Improvement and Innovation, shared insight on his organization’s ‘winning’ methods during a video interview with SSON:
"We started from the beginning with cultural blueprinting and decided what we wanted our culture to be; these were all defined in the 6 months of the organization," Lee says about Ascension Health’s culture creation. "We have a whole host of different things that we do to expose our associates to the core of our mission, including courses and community engagement all intended to bring that culture to every one of our associates everyday."
Individual practitioner leaders have also been recognized for the direct impact on their teams and network, including Rick Arpin, SVP and Corporate Controller from MGM Resorts International in 2013 and Chris Piazza, SVP Enterprise Finance Services from Warner Bros. Entertainment.
