The Unit Representative group brings together individuals from campus organizations with ITS project leaders to prepare units, and the university as a whole, for new IT services, significant changes to existing services, and retirement of key services.
Charge
As a group, the Unit Representatives will look ahead to important organizational and transition issues associated with new and retiring IT services. We will take on a shared responsibility in these areas:
Communication
- Provide input and review on the IT projects' key messages
- Bring our administration, HR, and IT staff members into the conversation as needed
- Collect feedback from our constituents
- Serve as a voice of our unit, within the Unit Representative group
- Cascade information about the IT projects within our unit
Supporting Constituents
- Assess impacts to our constituents; within the Unit Representatives group build a shared understanding of those impacts
- Anticipate points of friction with the coming changes and recommend approaches; communicate those to project teams and Customer Relations team
- Support efforts aimed at smoothing the transitions
Unit Readiness
- Take shared responsibility for unit readiness
- Identify Unit Ambassadors from our units for projects, as requested by ITS
- Collaborate with our Unit Ambassadors to carry out readiness activities throughout our units
- Provide input on timing of service changes for our units
Members
As ITS provides a wide variety of services that impact many roles within each unit, membership in this group should include administrative leaders as well as IT leaders.
