What is Integrated Service Delivery? A single point of delivery when and where the student needs it via • counters (Service Centres) • telephone • email • websites • on-line facilities such as WES and eServices • ask.monash (inquiry management system) Example:The Caulfield Service Centre delivers Student Admin services plus services for the faculties of Business and Economics, Information Technology and Art & Design together with Monash International. The ITS Helpdesk has also co-located in the Centre.
Integrated Service Delivery Enablers • Business model that includes SCM, SLAs, KPIs • Champions of the vision • Commitment from stakeholders • Ongoing discourse with University’s strategy
Integrated Service Delivery Blockers • Disparate business processes for some functions • Need to achieve short term cost efficiencies • No cohesive information management strategy • Identify management issues with matching right information to the right people • Problems with influences over whole university service strategy
KM/IM Strategy Knowledge Management – Tom Davenport “…knowledge management has to be "baked into" the job. It's got to be part of the fabric of the work to import knowledge when it's needed and export it to the rest of the organization when it's created or acquired.” • Attention: Is it worthy of somebody’s attention? • Appetite: Is it something people are hungry for? • Affiliation: Are others willing to share the knowledge with others?
Quality Initiatives • Student Administration & Systems Internal Review 2004 • AUQA Audit 2005/6 • SLAs • KPIs • Operational metrics • Satisfaction Measures (Surveys etc) • Performance Management Scheme
