3 Introduction Northern State University of Relations Department has three different job functions including graphic design, web site design, and content editing. Information comes into the department various ways through written, verbal, and electronic formats. The purpose of this document is to analyze and create a standardized way of receiving, distributing, and monitoring the current workflow. Changing old habits of staff/faculty can be a tedious job. Gathering Data: Business Process The business process used by the University Relations Department is not clearly defined and understandable to NSU s staff/faculty. Communication between the department and the rest of the university needs to be improved. Each department has their own agenda and does not understand the number of requests received each day within the department. Current workflow allows the requestor to go directly to the processor with no tracking mechanism. Development of a tracking system would help improve the current workflow by tracking turnaround times and employee productivity. Creation of the ticket system will provide empowerment to the staff/faculty to check on the status of their ticket at any time. In return, this will free up additional time by not having to respond back to the requestor when looking for an up-date. 3
4 Gathering Data: Current Workflow Communication has been given to staff, faculty, and other community members about contacting the department directly through the manager. The manager of the department would like to know all the requests to control workflow. Continuously the staff, faculty, and other NSU community members go directly to employees of the division. The department is currently being contacted using three different types of communication: phone, , and personal conversations. Tracking all the requests via these three communication styles makes it very difficult to control. In essence it takes additional steps to complete the communication cycle within the department. The current workflow within the University Relations Department is displayed in Diagrams below.

The follow of communication is difficult to follow with limited structure. Gathering Data: SWOT Analysis of Current Workflow The SWOT Analysis takes a look at the following workflow structure and breaks it down into four separate categories: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. It is important to analyze the current structure to see where improvements can be made. Strengths Completing Tasks High Level of Energy (both Staff and Management) Communication (between Staff and Management) Small Office 5
6 Weaknesses Organizational Structure Workflow Production Tracking Opportunities Unfilled Staff/Faculty Requests New Technologies New Concepts Threats Keeping up with Current Technologies Limited Budgets (in the future) Increasing Demands for Effectiveness Northern State University Relations Department can work towards the following weaknesses and possible threats in the future by analyzing the SWOT structure on an annual basis. Gathering Data: NSU Faculty/Staff Perceptions about Current Process It is important to understand the current perceptions about the necessary steps needed to be followed to complete a change on the current site, graphic design, and written content. Analyzing Data: Communication Communication within and outside of the department is one of the biggest challenges faced. No clear expectations are placed on the faculty/staff when requesting projects to be complete. Consequences are not forced upon the faculty/staff when requesting information the date before it needs to be completed. Projects are assigned to the processor at the last minute leaving little time to make improvements on the suggested product. A number of limited resources provide an overwhelming amount of tasks for each member of the University Relations Department. Improved communication can occur when forcing faculty/staff to follow procedures to get a requested task complete. In return, this will improve communication within the department allowing sufficient time to complete the task. 6
7 Analyzing Data: Assigning Tasks Tasks within the department are not getting assigned effectively across the group. Individuals are not aware of special tasks which need to be completed within a timely manner. It becomes a surprise to the processor, as they are required, to complete the task in a quick period of time. Another large problem with assigning tasks within the department is monitoring the turnaround time. How long does it take for the processor to complete the task? How many tasks can the processor handle at one time? What is the quality of work versus the task complete with a given deadline? These measures are not be accounted for each assignment given to the processor. Within the department this causes extra stress, overwhelming feeling, and the never ending unaccomplished work. It causes reduced morale and motivation within the team to get the required task completed. Analyzing Data: Tracking Systems University Relations Department uses one tracking system being used to monitor the progress of work, a white board. On the white board is a list of tasks which needs to be accomplished and is only visible to one person (the manager) at a time. Only one person is able to understand the big picture of all the required tasks which needs to be completed. By using this method, this reduces understanding of the department s goals and effectiveness at Northern State University. When the task is complete the information is either crossed out or erased from the board. Many surprises are given to the staff when information is forgotten limiting effective development time for the processor. If all the information was shared with the processor they could define a time management plan in their head when the following tasks are necessary to complete and in what order. 7
8 Recommendations Workflow Improvements It is important to set up structure within the workflow process. To eliminate confusion for both the requestor and assignee a ticket system can be implemented. See the Diagrams displaying improved workflow.

10 Reports Include the Following: Number of Outstanding Tickets Per Processor Number of Tickets Closed Per Processor Number of Tickets Processed by Each Processor Average Turn-Around Time for Each Task Diagram 2.5, Staff, NSU Faculty, and Other s Can Review Status of Ticket at any Time: Staff Faculty Other Access Database By using the model presented above this will reduce the following: 1) Repeated inquires about the status of task requested to be completed. 2) messages including: a. Requesting Task b. Assigning Task c. Completing Task 10
11 Microsoft Access Database Ticket Concept A ticket system is in process of being developed that will help track all incoming and completed tasks for each processor within the University Relations Department. The system will allow workflow for better workflow management and task ability assignments to be tracked. See Example provided below: Microsoft Access Ticket Concept Development Plans Each employee should have a development plan to help promote success and growth within the office. The employee should drive the plan by sharing own ideas and thoughts on what they want to improve. The guidance of the manager/supervisor is essential to help the employee develop reasonable goals (Appendix A). Employee Job Description Each employee should have a job description laying out specific tasks with expectations (Appendix B). The employee is able then to view the description on a daily basis using the documentation as a reminder of individual tasks, soft skills, and group tasks. Explain to the employee their specific task affects the group and overall group rating. This improves the moral of the employee, team, and manager. Morale is improved by understanding roles, specific direction, and team development. 11
12 Communication to University Relation Staff A monthly meeting has been set-up with the University Relation Staff members to get feedback about the current workflow process revisions. It is valuable to get input from each staff member about the process and how we can work together to improve the situation. This will help increase the morale in the department allowing each individual to contribute to the design. Importance of the buy-in effect is especially important from your own staff to improve work quality (See Appendix D Staff Meeting Results). Communication to Faculty/Staff University Relations will communicate to the faculty/staff in three separate waves to help allow time for them to understand the process changes. Described in each wave will be and explanation of the process change including reasons (who, what, where, why, and how) eliminating confusion. Wave 1 Distribution of the process change (all staff) Wave 2 Post card distribution of the process change (all staff) - (Appendix C) Wave 3 Informational meeting of the process change (all staff) By applying the following concepts the information has a chance of reaching the staff in several ways including both verbally and in written format. Communication to Success/Improvements 12
