February 17, 2017
Dear Team,
It feels like we just rang in the New Year, yet here it is, already February. We’re more than a month in to 2017 and time is flying by: the holidays are a distant memory, the semester is in full swing, and we are as busy at home as we are at work.
Hopefully you are still on track for any new year’s resolutions you may have set personally. Now is also the time to set our professional resolutions for 2017. As you work with your manager on that task, I thought I would share with you the 2017 UVAFinance priorities that I recently presented to Pat Hogan. You can find among these priorities, goals that apply to all of us: preparing and learning to be ready for the work of tomorrow; applying process re-design to your daily work; developing a clear and concise standard operating procedure to help others understand a work procedure.
Use these as inspiration:
Many of us should also include a 2017 goal related to using UBI for our reporting and analytical need. Your UBI adoption goal may be related to completing training, posting questions in the UBI User Community, converting your Discoverer reports to UBI, helping a co-worker learn how to use UBI.
Still stuck for goals? You can use our UVAFinance vision and core values as inspiration. How can you become more of a valued and trusted financial partner to someone in a school or unit? Where can you improve quality of your work to further become an impeccable source of information? How can you provide a clearer and quicker answer to provide excellent service? Where will you develop an innovative approach that eliminates waste and non-value-added work? What problem can you collaborate with a colleague to resolve? And how can you be a part of a valued, high-performing teams?
I can’t wait to see all we accomplish in 2017!
