Revised Progress and Implementation Priorities Report
(March 24, 2006)
This task force is responsible for providing direction and resources to a portfolio of administrative project implementation efforts. A detailed implementation plan, including a sequenced list of projects, is due to the Administrative Service and Productivity Steering Committee by January 1, 2006.
The goal of this task force is to adopt best practice management tools throughout the University. Management is the supporting structure for success and acts as the skeleton that holds the University together. This task force will identify and adopt, where appropriate, the best administrative practices of the University’s competitor’s in higher education and in other industries. Promoting information-based decision making and benchmarking will be essential components of this task force’s work.
This task force will begin its work by sponsoring an administrative policy overhaul that mirrors the Regents' Policy restructuring effort, as well as promoting best practices in performance measurement throughout the institution. Projects that are expected to be a part of this task force’s portfolio include: promoting more effective use of University leadership’s time and reducing the extent to which the University is over-regulated.
Implementation Plan due: January 1, 2006
