Day 17: June 14, 2009 - On Top of the Mountain


We arrived at the Lookout Mountain Golf Club about 6:00 PM. What an absolutely beautiful setting for an evening with Gordian Health Solutions and BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee. Chris Hunter, CEO of Gordian, had key members of his team there (Jed Dodd, Phil Hadden, Eric Rosenfeld, Tim Wade) along with key members of the BCBST team (Linda Andreae, Danny Timblin and many others – too numerous to mention). All in all, we had about 20 folks from this client there to get to know our teams and set the stage for this important project. It was a very impressive group.

We enjoyed a fantastic meal following by a briefing on the project with Chris Hunter and his team. Each of the Gordian and BCBST team introduced themselves and shared their passion and vision for this project – it was a fantastic way to launch our engagement. Following dinner, the Accelerator teams had the opportunity to spend some one-on-one time with these folks. We took the above photo just as the sun was setting over the mountains of East Tennessee. It was one of those evenings that you just don’t want to come to an end…

We headed back to the hotel – the Chattanoogan – about 9:00 PM. We officially launch the project in the morning at the new BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee campus.
