As we enter the homestretch of UT Works implementation, the Transformation Network will refocus on activities that will help their coworkers and team members transition to using UT Works. To achieve this focus, leadership within each business unit designated participants as either Change Champions or Change Leaders, with each role taking part in specific events and training.

The Transformation Network’s Change Leaders are managers and supervisors from the various units taking part in the UT Works Program. As they are responsible for managing teams and operations, they need tools to help their teams navigate the transition to using UT Works.

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 UT Works Program launched a Transformation Network and a Communications Network in the fall to help units involved in the program understand the changes coming with UT Works.

On October 5, Financial and Administrative Services (FAS) portfolio leadership hosted a launch event for the UT Works Program, a new set of software tools and business processes focused on enabling the university to improve the management of physical spaces, improve the delivery of mission-critical services, and streamline workflows.
