The SVP is resigning

To pursue other opportunities etc etc
I've had opinions on her various obsessions with different management techniques and making people read books like From Good to Great and running through Six Sigma workshops, but I can't deny that she's done a lot to modernize our work processes and turn stuff that used to be done by hand, every time, into automated processes but without causing huge waves of firings--the benefit of being a nonprofit is that we don't have investors slavering for ever greater profits. Whether she's responsible for the botched database implementations that have continually rolled out, failed, and required us to go back to the twenty-year-old custom-designed software, I have no idea. At least they're willing to admit that the custom-designed software is actually the best.
She still lives in Montana and flies in every week I guess, so it's no wonder that she wants to spend more time at home. We'll see what kind of changes come with whoever it is they find in the future. I'm sure it'll take them months to find a suitable candidate so it'll be a while before anything changes.
