Margaret Verble talks about her work:
Verble, Worth and Verble has just finished the best year we've ever had. We've worked on a variety of interesting projects in six countries on three continents. For a small company in Lexington, KY, we think that speaks well. But we're also cognizant that luck and the goodwill and help of others are large elements of any success. We are thankful for our friends, appreciative of clients and hope not to offend the universe with pride.
Most recently, Judy and I've had the pleasure of seeing several years of work with the organ donation program in the U.K. payoff. Historically, the British doctors asked for donations and the Brit donor coordinators just came in and did the paperwork after the families consented. International research, much of which was done in the U.S. , points to a strategy of coordinator involvement in the donation conversation, and that's what we've been working on over there. The British are traditional - that's one of the things the world most values about them - but implementing change in the U.K. can be like walking against a hard wind. However, their most recent analysis of data indicates that the coordinators we train are almost twice as likely to receive a "Yes" from a family to the question of donation as is a doctor and/or nurse without the presence of a coordinator. That's a major improvement and one we are proud to be a part of.
I'm always grateful for work here at home, too. My work process mapping with the Division of Water Quality has continued. This is a nuts and bolts activity that involves learning new things and working with nice people who want to do their jobs as effectively and efficiently as possible. It also draws on my natural predilection to recognize the underlying patterns and structures of things.
