Orion Health Response
9yI’m sorry that your time at Orion Health hasn’t worked out for you. I'm not going to ‘put a positive spin’ on challenges we face, but I will provide some context. I want to acknowledge that we do have challenges as a business, every start up and growth business does, and no one gets it right every time. It is from your losses and mistakes that you learn the most. We learn and improve all the time. In the last three years we have grown significantly, roughly double our team size.
With hindsight, it seems we didn’t always make the right decisions about who to bring in to roles here. We have an opportunity to really make a difference to the healthcare experience patients get in OECD countries. It’s a lofty goal, but one that many people here get out of bed for each morning. Along the way we will struggle in various ways and some of the challenges you refer to are common among start-ups. We obviously aren’t a start-up anymore, but a maturing business catching up with the rapid growth in the last few years.
Some of the comments below are factually inaccurate, but I’m not going to address them all separately. The CEO’s previous car was a 15-year-old Volvo and in addition, there are some stirring stories about the sacrifices he, his team and his family have made to get this business up and running. He is funding research on himself, to set an example of what he considers the future for healthcare globally.
We are working internally on a piece of research right now to understand what our people value that we have to offer, to effectively learn what we should stop, start and continue. You clearly have some strong views, I do hope you used the appropriate channels internally to give feedback and help Orion Health move forward as a business.
