Learning Leaders want to understand how to interface with senior leadership better and secure a voice in future planning.  But perhaps, as important, they want to know how senior leaders think about Learning & Development - and how they can better align what they do with the highest priorities of the business. 

In Part 2 of the Straight from the CEO series, Michelle speaks with Mike Cassling, Chairman and CEO of CQuence Health Group, and CEO of Cassling. Cassling sells and services world-class medical imaging equipment to hospitals in several regions across the U.S. Under his leadership, CQuence and its partner companies have earned multiple recognitions, including Modern Healthcare’s ranking as one of the Best Places to Work in Healthcare for multiple years, including two years at #1.
