Elements of Change • People • Process • Technology
Best Practices • Physical One-Stop-Centers • Web Services • Phone and email support
Planning for Transformation • Regina Kleinman Seton Hall University
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
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
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
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
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
