I occassionally hear from people on campus that they are reading the IT Community blog. That’s encouraging. But when we started this endeavor, I had hoped there would be more dialogue and sharing of ideas that would help us do a better job of fulfilling the University’s mission.
So, today I’m giving readers of the IT Community blog an opportunity to get the ball rolling. Here’s the assignment:
In the discussion area below, complete this sentence:
We could improve [fill in the blank] by [fill in the blank].
An example to get things started:
We could improve IT communications by following the lead of HR director Betsy Hawkins in engaging stakeholders in conversations about policy changes and new initiatives, and then creating and executing detailed communication plans.
Feel free to submit more than one idea. It can be about anything the University does. If you have ideas but don’t want to post publicly, send me an email and I’ll share your ideas anonymously.
