Statewide transformation update
March 16, 2016
The University of Alaska's six statewide transformation working teams have presented
their recommendations to UA President Jim Johnsen, who will discuss them on March
29 with the Summit Team. Decisions related to statewide transformation will be made
in early April, with implementation, in most cases, planned for July 1. The working
teams reviewed the recommendations of the original Statewide Transformation Team,
sometimes not supporting them but often supporting or supporting with additional considerations.
Working team recommendations were organized and presented in four major categories:
strategy, governance, operational efficiencies and process redesign, and people. Some
of the recommendations affect only the UA system office, while others affect the universities
and the 13 campuses. A responsible, accountable, consulted, informed (RACI) analysis
was conducted on each recommendation.
Sibson Consulting has prepared comparison charts of the original Statewide Transformation
Team recommendations and the working team reports, along with a list of newly created
recommendations. In addition, the company rated the difficulty of implementation of
each recommendation and provided a description of its rating metrics.
The Sibson packet with the charts for each working team can be downloaded here.
The reports and additional information can be found on the Statewide Transformation Team website.
Feedback can be submitted via a form on the site.
