The University of Florida will modernize its administrative information systems and associated business processes utilizing Workday. These administrative systems enable mission-critical business processes to conduct the work of the University.
In order to provide guidance and oversight for the Empowering UF initiative, a governance structure has been established that is comprised of Executive Sponsors and a Project Implementation Team.
In addition, a network of Campus Advisory Committees and subject matter experts will join Empowering UF to provide guidance and input into the initiative. The Empowering UF governance structure is described below.
Executive Sponsors
The Empowering UF Executive Sponsors are charged with executive oversight of the initiative to provide strategic direction and organizational alignment.
