With the integration annual revenues are expected in excess of $170 billion with 85,000 employees worldwide, and operations in more than 20 countries. I had the opportunity to talk with one of the project managers for the company and ask a few questions so I might be able to better understand the company. The first question that I asked was what inspired him to go into this field. And his answer was “I had a background in healthcare and a degree in industrial Engineering so it was a natural fit to come into this industry. I was also excited to find a career that encouraged me to work without direction and innovate. What keeps me motivated is the fact that we’re vastly improving the efficiency and accuracy of how drugs are dispensed affecting millions of lives each day.” (Mark Edwards, McKesson HVS 2015) I then asked what he needed to know to be effective in this field. His reply was “How to work with a customer to determine what a customer needs to be successful in their business, how to align software engineering and mechanical engineering with the customer’s needs, Operational Efficiency and Project Management Skills”. (Mark Edwards, McKesson HVS 2015) My third question for Mr. Edwards was what kind of attire was worn or expected to be worn and his response was simply, “McKesson has pockets of casual, but I

I’ll never forget the night I was on a conference call with New Belgium’s leadership team, when the subject of opening a third brewery crept into the conversation. Interestingly, as a business grows, sometimes the growth may include new facilities. Unfortunately, sometimes this may not be in the best interest of the company. However, at New Belgium, we must remember how our impact can affect people, profits and the planet. Despite the fact, that we just got started building our second brewery in Asheville, North Carolina, and despite the fact that full and final buildout of the plant is not expected until 2020.
