"It is important to understand the business inside and out, so I would want to meet with my new colleagues I would be working with in all cross-functional areas. Then, I would work with you on a 30, 60, and 90-day plan so we can review the most important elements to work on."

I would want to get to know the teams I would be working with. I would want to speak with the supervisors of each team and find out who on their teams need some assistance and who is doing well. Also, I would like to spend some time re-learning all the computer programs and getting back up to speed so I could start coaching and providing feedback as soon as possible.
