GSK Home Team

                               Julia, Dan, Penny, Tommy, Steve


Thank you for your support, insights, and wonderful send-off lunch.  Derek (not pictured) wrote a quote in a team card that speaks so well to this volunteer opportunity.

My 90 day mission



My mission is ...to be fully engaged with the Pulse Volunteer experience so that I can help make a positive difference in the lives of children.


Along the way I'll share behaviors I adopt to help reach my mission, and welcome suggestions from people who have been on this path.


So I don't end up someplace else, here's what I've been asked to accomplish:


Deliverables
­Update overall Agency Dashboard for board of trustees and senior management team.
­Create linkages with divisional dashboards currently in development

Success Measures

Well designed layout and presentation of analysis of key metrics on agency performance, and strong links with cascading/next level dashboards.

Volunteer exit plan / hand over

Handover to Director of Planning to implement with senior management team going forward.

    Welcome and "the Ripple"


    Welcome to my new PULSE Volunteer Partnership blog. Now that I have a 3-month assignment with Save the Children in Westport, Connecticut, it seems timely to reach out to family, friends, and colleagues to share the journey.


    The PULSE program logo is a ripple, and suggests the positive ripple effect that emanates from the "pulse" of GSK volunteers working within communities in need.  I invite you to be part of the change by posting comments that can help take the work forward, and create a bigger ripple.
