From A to B

I've a crazy stressful 2 days at work.  I've been trying to do an internal launch of a new product that is joined to a contest to encourage employees to read and participate in this effort.  Translations were running behind, programming wasn't working out, I was trying to source a contact list to populate my contest with in order to invite participants but it was going to take longer than expected to extract this list, then the testing would run long, but we really wanted to launch this week, but all of the main subject area experts were away and then somehow some VPs got involved and it was all just crashing down on me.

And then, Gillian.

She called me because she had had to field some questions on my behalf.  She listened to my problem, she heard what I was trying to do, and then after gathering all of that information, she solved it for me as illustrated below:


Why didn't I think of that?

And then I took the solution back to my team and the response was the same: why didn't we think of that?

Today, I *heart* Gillian.  Thank you for thinking of that.

Update - 4:30 pm

I shared my infographic with Gillian...she loved it. :)
