Dear Colleagues,
The October 12 kick-off event for Finance Strategic Transformation (FST) left me feeling truly grateful for all the people who have agreed to be a part of our upcoming workshops or to serve a role on the FST Checkpoint Team, the Advisory Group, and the Steering Committee.
 |
| You can view a video of the kickoff as well as the presentation slides on our online community: ubicommunity.virginia.edu |
We will not be able to make this a successful project without the thoughtful, collaborative, and active engagement of these team members. Now, as we embark on this journey together, is a good time to think about how we will interact with our stakeholders and how they will interact with us.
Our Pledge to the FST Stakeholders:
Our Ask of FST Stakeholders:
Again, I thank you for joining us on this journey! I look forward to working with each of you.

On September 27, the Fourth Cohort of the succession development Cornerstone Program graduated and presented their projects.
Representing UVAFinance in that Cohort was Mark Anderson, Business Intelligence Lead. During the past year, Anderson and the 29 other cohort participants have received customized leadership development, including a 360 assessment and coaching, and mentoring from senior leaders.
Anderson felt the program had many assets for him as a participant, but chief among them were the networking opportunities and the mentoring he received.
Read more after the jump!
"Most of the people in this program were in roles I wouldn't normally interact with, so I got a lot of perspective. I also enjoyed my mentoring relationship with Bill Ashby, the senior associate Dean for Administration at Batten," he said.
The networking with peers in the program also led to a collaboration between the UBI team and the Office of Student Affairs, which is ongoing.
Participants in the program form teams to work on projects submitted by University senior leadership. The projects in this cohort ranged from serving undergraduate military veterans to new employee onboarding and orientation.
Anderson's project team evaluated previous Cornerstone projects in order to make recommendations on how to lead successful change initiatives at UVA. One of the other Cornerstone projects this year was the establishment of an Analytics Community of Practice (ACP). Hosted within the Community Hub and with monthly in-person meetings, the group has so far brought 60 individuals from different schools and units together with a common goal of sharing current knowledge, and best practices.
 |
| Mark Anderson of UBI |
The ACP has already been key in solving some issues common to those who work in business intelligence at UVA: in the very first meeting, one member shared a program he had written to clean up course evaluation data out of Collab, a painful chore shared by others in the group.
Without access to a network of peers doing the same kind of work, Anderson pointed out, that solution would not have been as easy to share.
"It's great to have a forum where you can ask questions and see what others are working on outside of your own silo," he said.
For more information on the ACP, visit the UBI website: https://ubi.virginia.edu/analytics-community-practice

Cohorts for the succession development Cornerstone program are selected annually by their senior leadership from the Academic Division, the Health System, and University Physicians Group.
Watch for an upcoming post featuring UVAFinance's Fifth Cohort participant, Isaiah Behnke!

| Patrick Wood, new to PSDS. Wood also serves on UVA's Staff Senate and serves as Membership Director, Co- chair, of the Staff Senate Executive Board. |
Procurement and Supplier Diversity Services is pleased to announce that Patrick Wood, formerly of the Office of Sponsored Programs, has joined their team as a Procurement Specialist. A University of Virginia employee since 2014, Wood has also worked in Printing and Copying Services and with the Administrative Services Group in UVAFinance.
In his new role, Wood will be a buyer for catering, athletics, and hotel services.
"I'm eager to learn everything it will take to perform my new role effectively," said Wood, noting that he has a great team supporting him as he gets acclimated.
Wood is no stranger to learning new things -- he successfully transitioned to administrative work at UVA from a 16-year career in Elementary education, and is also currently halfway through attaining his Project Management Professional certificate.
Feel free to stop by and welcome Wood officially back to the UVAFinance family soon. Just don't look for him on November 6, as he'll be out of the office performing his duties as an election official (for the tenth year!).

Efficiency in Communications, Empowered to Share
by Kristin Floyd
I am currently using Microsoft Teams to administer, track and store all of the various projects the new Strategic Procurement Group is working on in Procurement and Supplier Diversity Services.
 |
| Kristin Floyd of PSDS |
This tool assists in our communications with our managers as they are able to go into the tool and review our projects at any time. It also gives us one platform to record information on our progress so that if any of our projects are interconnected, we can review their status without having to track each other down for a status update.
In addition, we are able to have a dedicated conversation board that tracks important ideas, notes, or discussions that we want to be able to search for and retrieve easily at a later date.
How many times have you thought – “but we discussed that at X-meeting already” but don’t have notes to prove it? Teams gives you a searchable Notebook to keep all your meeting notes.
Plus when we are doing research on the current manufacturing markets or reviewing strategy that other Universities used for a specific procurement we can store all that information in Teams as a Wiki or OneNote so that others in the team can see that information and share their research too.
Ultimately, Teams has made us more efficient in our sharing of information and our collaborations. It helps to empower me and those around me with information.
