A. Give this Action Project a short title in 10 words or
fewer:
|
|
Designing a Process for Building, Maintaining, and
Prioritizing Collaborative Relationships.
|
|
|
|
B. Describe this Action Project's goal in 100 words or
fewer:
|
|
In response to a Feedback Report OFI, Edison
will develop a process for building and maintaining collaborative
relationships that can be repeated throughout the college. Data sources for
prioritization of relationships for the benefit of the college and its
stakeholders will be researched. While collaborative relationships are in
existence throughout the college, most are the result of individual efforts
and might be lost when personnel changes occur. The result of this Action
Project will provide a standardized approach to relationship development
and thereby contribute to organizational learning.
|
|
C. Identify the single AQIP Category which the Action
Project will most affect or impact:
|
|
Primary Category: Building Collaborative Relationships
|
|
D. Describe briefly your
institution's reasons for taking on this Action Project now -- why the
project and its goals are high among your current priorities:
|
|
The Action Project is being established because of OFIs registered by the Portfolio review team. Common
throughout our Feedback Report were comments reflecting a lack of
recognized processes that could be continued in the event of a change of
personnel. Realizing that this is, in fact, correct, we are attempting to
define and make visible transparent processes that will contribute to our
continuous quality improvement efforts.
|
|
E. List the organizational
areas - -institutional departments, programs, divisions, or units -- most
affected by or involved in this Action Project:
|
|
All areas of the college will be impacted by this
project and its results.
|
|
F. Name and describe
briefly the key organizational process(es) that
you expect this Action Project to change or improve:
|
|
Areas of immediate concern are those reported in Figure
9.1 of our Systems Portfolio. These areas include all relationships in
areas of educational support/opportunity, regional and community
interaction, accrediting and licensing requirements, the State of Ohio
compliance, national organizations for organizational benchmarking, our Edison
Foundation and donor base, and vendors that provide goods and services.
Additional areas may be identified as the project develops.
|
|
G. Explain the rationale for
the length of time planned for this Action Project (from kickoff to target
completion):
|
|
Our designed timeline supports our ability to meet as an
Action Project Team, to research the design process and the process for
prioritizing collaborative relationships, and recommending new processes
for a fall 2007 deployment.
|
|
H. Describe how you plan to
monitor how successfully your efforts on this Action Project are
progressing:
|
|
When a method for establishing priorities for
relationship building is completed, it will include methods for determining
success. The criteria used will vary depending on the type of relationship.
Some areas might involves dollars donated, transfer successes, internship
possibilities, etc. At this point we are unable to define that more specifically.
|
|
I. Describe the overall "outcome" measures or
indicators that will tell you whether this Action Project has been a
success or failure in achieving its goals:
|
|
Our desired outcome is a step-by-step process that
defines who, what, how, when, and why some relationships are sought and/or
maintained and others are not.
|
|
J. Other information (e.g., publicity, sponsor or
champion, etc.):
|
|
The Action Project Team driving this project is a
sub-set of our recent Strategy Forum Team. Having been through the various
exercises of the Forum, team members are aware of the importance of the
project and the potential impact it has for Edison's
continuing growth and success.
