Breakout Session

Department Workgroups

After a review of the Communication Worksheets, 16 department workgroups were formed.

Facilitators from each department's management team led discussions and each workgroup focused on topics relevant to their group.  

Topics included:

• Specific comments from the Communication Worksheets

• Are other university areas acting on our communications in a desired manner?  Do we communicate enough?  Do we need more formal processes or documentation for other departments to reference?

• Formal versus information communication

• Problem resolution processes

• Communication and collaboration focus on shared processes 

• Training and education opportunities

• Communications during shift changes and insuring all shifts are properly informed and briefed

• Communication between departments, between divisions, and university-wide
