  1. Strategic Reorganization Deborah Noble-Triplett, UM System Eric Rosenhauer, UM Health System

  2. Objectives • Provide recommendation regarding VPAA office responsibilities • Suggest what should no longer be done • Consider interrelatedness of VPAA office duties with other units across campus: • Other vice provost offices • Provost office • Academic units • Newly created vice provost & deans offices • Business units (HR and Finance)

  3. Scope of Engagement • Work in tandem with campus transition committees • Visit with critical campus constituents to listen, learn and ask questions • Provide observations and recommendations • Inform campus leaders regarding opportunities for continuous improvement and effective, lean operations • Provide a neutral, third party opportunity to highlight efficiencies and effective practices, and consider any additional systematic processes that will enhance value-added

  4. To Meet Objectives • Must ask “Why?” • Must challenge assumptions • Look for evidence of effectiveness • Attempt to view from various vantage points • Consider the questions: • What is done? • How is it done? • Why is it done? • Who is involved? • Is it successful? • Should we continue doing this? • What is the value-added?

  5. Connection to Transition Committees • Join steering committee conversations (committee chairs) • Focus on VPAA • Recommendations have complementarity but formed with different frameworks • Transition committees: focused on responsibilities and tasks and where to assign them which determined resource allocation, space needs and personnel placement • UM consultants: focused on customers, processes and responsibilities (complex vs. routine duties) within context of connected units

  6. Challenge of Change • Communicate roles of : • Department chairs • Vice provost & deans • VC Global & Strategic Partnerships • Provost • Internal vs. external focus • Strong strategic plan • Structural reorganization to achieve goals • Broad representation in transition planning • Campus-wide listening opportunities

  7. Context for Proposed Recommendations • Review of organizational structure & responsibilities • Review of structures and work from perspective of internal customers • Propose ideas for consideration • Separate transactional responsibilities of the VPAA from strategic and leadership responsibilities • Structure to support lean processes and customer experience • Sharing suggestions campus leadership once we complete our work • For consideration by newly appointed leaders

  8. Proposed Recommendations • Organizational relationships • Align resources with core mission • Reduce silos, fragmentation, and duplicative operations • Focus more on customer service and customer responsiveness • Effectiveness • Efficiency • Cost savings • Recognition of need for some duplication

  9. Proposed: Campus Resource Center • Standardizing business processes • Eliminating non-value added work • Delivering a end-user centric model • Utilizing enabling technology to streamline business processes • Increasing managerial span of control • Reorganizing and co-locating workforce Finance, IT and HR and Academic Support functions

  10. Proposed Campus Resource Center Detail(Shared Services Model) • Suggested Guidelines • Activities should be Shared if: • The activity can be standardized across multiple units • The activity could be performed effectively without proximity • The activity is transactional in nature • The activity is complex and performed infrequently • Activities should be Local if: • The activity is unique to the unit • The activity requires in-unit-decision-making

  11. Vice Provost & Dean Office(s) example: Campus Resource Center interaction with academic units

  12. What’s Next? • Visit with additional stakeholders and confirm observations • Need evidence… start benchmarking • Customer focused process metrics • Is the process facilitating or hindering outcomes? • Business process analysis (invitations from Branson & Manuel) • HR • Finance & Administration • Determine vice provost & dean offices responsibilities & resources • Leave flexibility to establish their team and voice their thoughts regarding the delineation of responsibilities • Develop ongoing continuous improvement strategies • Optimize leadership
