...TO: Management, Stakeholders & Employees of STARS Air Ambulance FROM: Sharaz Khan, CIO DATE: March 1, 2008 SUBJECT: Revamping Information Systems (IS) Unit Today’s challenging healthcare environment demands an experienced organization that can deliver innovative service solutions, while operating on budget. We at Shock Trauma Air Rescue Society or STARS Air Ambulance service have the experience and expertise to meet these needs, making us the preferred choice for trauma and emergency services nationwide. After my inception as the CIO, I requested our employees and executives to join in an internal dialogue about important issues facing our organization. I’ve been buoyed by the thought and discussion we’ve heard and read over the past few weeks. Even though we are performing well, there are few areas of concern which I think needs to be addressed in order for our organization to perform better. During my inquiry, I found that STARS needed to review its business and IS infrastructure. Information Systems (IS) never played a major role in any of STARS major operations and strategic planning, which has led to many organizational and operational issues. We need to understand that technology plays an important role in our day to day activities. We employ and leverage the use of information systems to communicate across the organization and also with our external partners. Although we are unable to make optimal use of the IS unit, we need to value the little innovation that...

...The Art of Seeing Essay Nick Cave Soundsuit Mixed Media Page 184 Soundsuit, created by Nick Cave in 2009 resembles a cloud of ceramic birds that surrounds a body suit of crocheted yarn pieces. The structure that resides on the crocheted body suit resembles the flight pattern of the birds, some delicate lines with beads and others strong, steel like structure protruding upwards, almost looking like tree branches or roots of a tree if looked at upside down. The body suit has various colors although keeping a palate of reds, oranges, pinks, black and white. The patterns resemble flowers of various types and sizes breaking the monotony of matching patterns. The various materials used in Soundsuit work together to create an egg-shaped sphere around the crocheted body suit giving the viewer a feel of surrounding; noise of movement. The strong predominant vertical metal branches that hold the ceramic birds symbolize branches, especially since the artist selected ceramic birds that are perched. Not one bird is alike, some with extended wings and others seeming to take flight; the sound of flapping wings is almost audible. The crocheted body suit has a feeling of randomness, different flowers and symbols in different places in non-geometrical lines. The suite covers all body parts except the head and hands as if the suit would give a person a different identity. It almost feels as if this body suit is closely related to nature. Soundsuit is uniform in the sense that it contains...

...know his fellow members well. He needs to have an influence on his people. A leader establishes a sense of purpose and creates value within the group. When we refer to a leader, it might be in various aspects like politics, sports, religion etc. In any aspect or field, he will be the person who guides the people in that particular field or will be there as a role model, where people follow his path towards the common destination. Coming to a leader in workplace, he needs to know the managerial skills in an efficient manner to guide people in achieving the goal. An individual with good set of skills, work efficiency and organizational values can be considered as a manager but not as a leader. Whereas a leader on the other hand apart from having these traits helps his fellow members to achieve these traits as well. A leader can actually arise from anywhere by creatively transforming his skills and abilities. A good leader is a person who doesn’t bosses around people, instead he should be recognized as one among them. He should be supportive to share the successes that the team achieves as well as to take responsibility for their failures. Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it Dwight D Eisenhower Leadership Leadership is about creating, controlling and making use of our own energy and also energy of people in...
