More than the other eleven, the month of January offers the unique invitation to both look back and to look ahead. As the crucial point in the calendar when we close out one year AND put the wheels in motion for the next, this is a special time calling for both reflection and anticipation. To honor this unique opportunity for the year, we made a video of some of FMI highlights, a quick glimpse back at 2014, and how the issues we faced then factor into our blueprint for success in 2015.
