Brainstorming Breakout Session: Working Assumptions and the ‘Big Picture’ December Working Assumptions All decisions tie to our overarching goals: –Strategic for the long-term Enable strategic investment and use of IT –Efficient Redirect resources to highest and best purpose –High-quality Elevate level of service excellence Future services should not be bound by current constraints (e.g., fee-for-service funding) Moving to common solutions (90% rule: don’t design for the exception; exceptions will be approved at a high-level (UCIO)) May require multiple ‘tiers’ (e.g., staff vs. student ) Service Catalog Concept On 6/15, we will have defined in a service catalog, what services our new IT organization will provide, to whom, and by when Think Service not Product Think from the perspective of the Customer Think what not how This is not preservation of what we do today Are there things that we do not do today that we should? Service Catalog Example Help Desk – Single Point of Contact
