The Transformation Design Team report provides a template for change but it is not set in tablets of stone. We need everyone in the University to take the opportunity to discuss and debate the content of the report. From now until March TDT will be drawing together all your advice, comments and suggestions and they will serve to inform and shape the plans for implementation. April 1st 'T Day' will mark the end of the TDT consultation process. Like all big organisations JMU has its formal and its informal networks of communication.
Formal networks can take the form of staff meetings, committee meetings, union meetings.
Already TDT has met with the Executive to discuss the report recommendations. We will be meeting with the members of the Leadership Team on the 9th February, not only to discuss the report, but also to ensure that formal networks are opened up to facilitate consultation and feedback. Informal networks - it is often the case that informal networks of communication are the most effective. In addition each School and Service Team will be allocated their own TDT link person to facilitate the networking process. TDT also welcome contributions to the JMU Transformation Bulletin from individuals and groups who wish to engage with a particular issue arising form the report, or to inform a wider audience of the outcome of their own consultation events and activities.
