On March 23, members of the Transformation and Communications Networks received an update on the UT Works Program along with an introduction to the Change Management plans the Organizational Readiness (OR) team will use to prepare UT staff for the transition to the UT Works system. Meetings were held for both day and evening shift staff to accommodate as many network members as possible.
The OR team presented a “Where we are” update on the UT Works program, including an overview of the Phase 1 Timeline, before giving attendees an introduction to Change Management.
The core purpose of the OR team is to help UT staff navigate change as they transition from their current way of working today to successfully using UT Works in the future. Change Management planning provides a critical foundation for ensuring that staff feels prepared and supported throughout the process.
To stay connected and increase understanding of the needs of front-line staff, the Organizational Readiness Team will conduct interviews with members of the Transformation Network. These efforts will occur alongside continued communications and other opportunities to provide feedback as plans progress.
