A new year brings fresh opportunities to explore what’s possible
We hope you’ve settled into the normal rhythms of a new semester — in spite of some unexpected weather! The Empowering UF team is hard at work, and we have a lot to share, but as always, we’ll try to keep these updates concise.
The Empowering UF initiative has entered the Plan phase of its project timeline. During this two-month period, we are welcoming new team members and subject matter experts while engaging with leaders and key stakeholders throughout UF.
We are also scheduling and strategizing for upcoming Discovery and Business Process Design sessions that will begin in March and run through June. For these sessions, we will invite carefully selected individuals across all levels of the organization to bring their valuable experience and perspective to our discussions. An Implementation Launch event will be held just prior to the Discovery phase on March 4, and an orientation to the Design sessions will be held on April 8.
Regardless of whether you are participating in these sessions or engaging in other outreach opportunities in the coming months, the Empowering UF project team welcomes your honest and actionable feedback as the HR and Finance teams configure and design the Workday system with UF’s needs at the forefront. If you are interested to learn more about which areas of UF’s business are top of mind for Workday, we invite you to take a look at the Transformation Opportunities section of our website.
