Prcess Imprvement Center f Excellence Service Prpsal Recmmendatin Operatinal Oversight Cmmittee Reprt Submissin Justificatin (If prpsing discntinuance, describe alternatives t service.) The University has multiple examples where we d nt have efficient and value-added business prcesses as well as multiple examples where we have failed t efficiently redesign prcesses. One f the cntributing factrs t the business prcess redesign failures is that staff d nt have the required skill set. In additin, we believe further justificatin fr this new service include: Mre likely nt t autmate current prcesses (where ineffective) but encurage and empwer business areas t create better prcesses Including questining plicies Identifying values f peple being invlved Balancing internal cntrl with best practices Bth Student and Business Services have an immediate sense f urgency - Biennial FY11-13 prpsed budget reductins are dependent n the redesign & autmatin f certain business prcesses Cntinuing grwth f business transactins (e.g., student enrllment/aid, spnsred research) withut available additinal resurces t cntinue t supprt business using the existing prcess Overall resurce cnstraints and limitatins makes it necessary t ensure that staff are fcused n the mst value-added activities hwever certain administrative tasks are necessary t the University's existence Cmpliance and regulatry envirnment is expanding University's bligatins Mre peers have been successful with a defined methdlgy and dedicated supprt staff fr prcess redesign key characteristics f peer methdlgy include: Cnsistent methdlgy Organizatinal change management Cnsistent cmmunicatin Ensures stakehlder invlvement Cnsistent ROIs Creative slutins Page 4 Template name: 4.0 Service Prpsal Recmmendatin Template.dcx Template Rev.
