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.

With the approval of Executive Sponsor Jim Davis (SVP/COO), the UT Works Program recently released an updated Phase 1 Timeline. The updated timeline includes input from the leadership of units involved in the program and endorses the shared goal for campus to begin using UT Works in the Fall of 2024. To meet this goal, the program will adopt methodologies and practices that prioritize the timeline.

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 recently released a detailed timeline for the implementation of modules included in Phase 1.

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.
