She not only knows everything there is to know about what data needs to be produced for all the different parts of the triad, the accreditors, the federal government and the state, but she also knows how to tell the story of the data. KP knows how to gather information from those who made the decisions that resulted in the data in such a way that she could tell the story accurately, fairly, and also highlight what’s positive.
Kristina’s powerful combination of skills, including data analysis, deep topical research, innovation, and diplomacy, are brought to bear as she assists organizations to reach new levels of functionality and effectiveness. She is an extremely valuable asset to any organization seeking transformation or evolution.
