  7. The Case for Change:  New leadership and desire to transform the institution  Engaged in a University-wide Diagnostic Review  It found processes to be fragmented, causing student run-around, inefficiencies  And, overly-specialized staff - not able to provide holistic service

  8. Elements of the Redesign:  Four departments merged into Enrollment Services(Admissions, Registrar, F. A., Bursar)  Web self-service technology for students and faculty  Service counter staffed by generalists . . .  And, specialists to bring depth of subject matter expertise  Department organized into teams

  9. Launching Implementation:  First thing--started cross-training  Then, built the prototype of Enrollment Services  Designed and renovated the physical facility  Described new job roles and responsibilities, and staffed the new organization  Implemented web services for students

  10. Transitioning to the New Organization:  Ambition runs ahead of technology - number of staff is reduced too soon Entrenched management find it hard to overhaul their processes and their professional lives  Entrenched union personnel did not want to leave their functional silos  Turnover in personnel - this is both good and bad

  11. Taking Implementation Into Operation:  New leadership gets the plan back on track  The service counter is expanding to include a call center  More technology being introduced : - Imaging and Scanning - Electronic Forms - work flow - Web services for faculty
