Visioneering Process

We Propose--
Faculty and Staff Proposals about Communication and Decision Making

  1. We propose: To increase communication campus wide through "Take your colleague to work day" - staff-to-staff/faculty-to-faculty in fall; faculty-to-staff in spring.
    Because: The campus will benefit greatly from the "global" perspectives coming together.
     
  2. We propose: A systematic method for fostering interdepartmental and interpersonal exchange of awareness and understanding of positions, functions and activities.
    Because: It will enhance sense of community, improve communication and increase efficiency.
     
  3. We propose: Some mechanism or system for interdepartment communication, which includes interaction that is significant, frequent and face-to-face, undergirded with intentional prayer.
    Because: We would strengthen the things that matter most: community, sense of mission, relationships, academic environment and industry.
     
  4. We propose: Improve internal communication by fostering openness and honesty through creative methods of conflict resolutions.
    Because: We sometimes avoid conflict at the expense of addressing real issues.
     
  5. We propose: Adopt a procedure to improve systemic communication.
    Because: Improve job performance, empower, inform, lessen mistrust and misunderstanding.
     
  6. We propose: To implement a concentrated effort to inform the campus community at all levels using dept./div. reporting at least monthly.
    Because: It promotes awareness, morale, checks and balances, community and bottom-line trust.
     
  7. We propose: Develop clear processes for decision making.
    Because: It helps us make good decisions, be purposeful in what we do, creates a more successful environment for everyone and helps keep emotions out of decisions--gives a sense of security.
