Accomplishments past period
- Initiated discussions to connect/leverage the work on Software Licensing
with the
business modelling Pismere work related to software packages appropriate
for the
Pismere meeting.
- As follow-on the presentations on May 17 & 18, ongoing data collection
and discussions with key stakeholders such as Jonathon Weiss and Brian
Murphy.
- Continuous work to fill in gaps in the spreadsheet
Goals for the coming period
- Follow-up the initiated discussion with a meeting among Marine, Naomi,
Lorraine, and
Joanne Hallisey.
- Gather input and understanding about the business model deliverable and
the appropriate time frame(s) for the model - e.g. short term, 6 months
out, etc.
- Plan to reconvene with Greg.
- Continue to work the software issues, especially the decision regarding
MS Office.
Issues:
- Need strategic clarity regarding software decisions; e.g MS Office and
any other core software services that IS should provide.
- The iterative process of building this model feels right - there are many
variables and possible scenarios, so working the model against those
changes helps validate and inform the work.
Key learnings
- There is a lot of information that needs to be gathered and staff are
interested in participating.
- The discussions are rich and critical to moving the work forward.
Team dynamics:
- There is a widening area of participation and input into the work.
Marine, Lorraine, and Naomi are doing a very good job maintaining and
updating the information as new inputs are received. The process of
building the model is being validated through the discussions.
Additional comments:
- None
