8 Change Management Priorities
Six change management items identified by Core/Design Team as major shifts in processes in moving from Jenzabar and Datatel to Workday These affect Colleges and individuals differently Our goals are to familiarize Ambassadors with these items and to develop strategies to facilitate successful transitions regarding these changes at each campus

9 Change Management Priorities - # 1
Affects all Colleges: Transition from account numbers (15 digits for Pomona, 14 digits for all other Colleges) to strings of worktags of varying lengths

10 Change Management Priorities - # 2
Affects all Colleges: Transition from preparing and reviewing request-for-check (RFC) forms to creating and approving supplier (vendor) invoices in Workday

11 Change Management Priorities - # 3
Affects all Colleges: Transition from paying students and employees on RFCs to paying students and employees through ad hoc feature in Workday

12 Change Management Priorities - # 4
Affects all Colleges: Transition from self-balancing gift and grant account numbers (projects at Pomona, units at all other Colleges) to new gift, grant, program and project worktags in Workday
