Recognizing and Taking Hold of the Opportunity to Grow

Being opportunistic requires exploration and a focus on outcomes. Within the organization, the ultimate outcome is progress towards the mission – the purpose for which it exists. With this outcome in mind, we consider the possibilities of how it can be achieved and take ownership to make it happen.   This past quarter, Scott Keeling led our efforts to build an internet connectivity solution for Clean Laundry storesHe embraced the project, and along the way, recognized additional opportunities to increase security measures involving cameras and remote door locking.   From there, he tackled the Clean Laundry Express project and assumed the role of technical lead. Where additional information was needed, he took ownership to seek it out. He minimized complexity through collaborationAs a result, an innovative service is coming to life. Clean Laundry is changing the way we think about laundry and contributing towards the fulfillment of the Clickstop mission to create a business that is enjoyable, sustainable and provides opportunity for those who seek it.    We’re pleased to recognize Scott Keeling as our Q1 ‘Opportunistic’ award winner.  Well done, Scott!
