The criteria are a set of 18 interrelated requirements that support a systems approach to organization-wide goal alignment. The University of Wisconsin-Stout's experience suggests that the criteria can help align resources, improve communication, achieve goals and improve performance on factors critical to a University. Participants will also be guided through the Baldrige application preparation process and gain many insights gleaned from a Baldrige award winner and examiner who guided UW-Stout's experience with the criteria. Patricia N. Haeuser is director of planning, budget, and analysis at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. An enterprise-wide approach makes facilities data available to information systems, databases, and staff to support decision making in academic, administrative and operations units across a University.
Enterprise solutions require thoughtful planning, design and resource management.
Successfully implemented, they offer greater customer support and return higher ROI because of the breadth of issues they support. This workshop will describe each phase of implementing a space management system in the context of a higher education environment from requirements definition through data population and enterprise-wide deployment. Available tools will be analyzed, discussing methods to leverage the technology of CAFM, GIS and the Web for successful space management systems. The University of Minnesota's space management implementation will be referenced during the presentation. Participants will learn the process of planning, justifying, and deploying an enterprise-wide system.
