CEO, ETRETR is a national organization—one with global aspirations. You might not have guessed this if you’d peeked in on one of our all-staff meetings a few years back.

Research Associate, ETRI’m with the “away team.” For the last several years, I’ve been part of ETR’s Distributed Workforce. Roughly one in five staff are located away from our organization’s main offices in Scotts Valley, Oakland and Sacramento, California. You’ll find us in other regions of California and in other states across the country. I live in Boston.
It hasn’t always been easy being one of the remote staff. But we’re an organization that believes in continuous improvement.

-
By Dan McCormick, MHA | June 8, 2015
Chief Executive Officer, ETRHave you noticed that the pace of change is accelerating? Of course! We all have. And we're hearing about it over and over, with greater and greater frequency. “Be agile.” “Pivot quickly.” “Re-invent yourself.”
But how do we put these slogans to work to improve our organizations?
I believe one of the best ways to successfully navigate today’s world of high-velocity change is to create and sustain high-vitality organizations.
