Management Workshop #3: 2008 Goal Setting

September 25th 8:00AM - 2:00PM

Facilitator: Patti Dobrowolski

Attendees: UW Technology Services Managers and Directors

Reference Materials:

The goals of this workshop: To continue to build discipline with our strategic planning process, to better align ourselves with our Culture of Service, and to continue to build a strong team.

Please note: This workshop was only a first step towards aligning our work with the strategic priorities for Service Delivery & Support, Computing & Communications, and the UW. The SMART goals outlined for 2008 were not meant to be absolute goals for the year; they should be used as a starting point for conversations around the priority areas and what each unit would like to accomplish in order to build upon this outline.

The next step would be to take this outline to your next team/staff meeting or discussion with your Director in order to come up with SMART goals that your unit would like to achieve in the 2007-2008 fiscal year.
