On growth and Improvement Setting priorities for the next 6, 12, and 24 months ORU Computing and Mathematics Advisory Council November 13, 2018

Agenda Round table discussion on existing and emerging industry needs Classify the gaps Prioritize the gaps Discuss potential program adjustments for the top priority gaps Develop a roadmap for program enhancement Assign Action Required (ARs)

Identifying the opportunities for Growth and Improvement Input: Thoughtful energy Output: List of opportunities Process: Round table discussion on existing and emerging industry needs Identify gaps – where programs seem to be inadequately preparing graduates What would make a graduate a better overall match? What would make a graduate ramp their job performance faster? Identify future gaps – where opportunities are expected to require program adjustments What are the emerging challenges where the best chance to pursue the opportunity is through a recent college graduate (RCG) that has specialized in the area? What joint venture opportunities can we develop to benefit the community, the council members, and ORU’s next set of graduates?

Classify and route-Cause the Opportunities Input: List of opportunities Output: List of characterized opportunities (gaps) Process: For each opportunity, determine the potential impact and the type of opportunity Existing gaps: Material covered but insufficient proficiency Material not covered Emerging Give details and timing on when the skills would be needed Give thought to whether there is opportunity for continuing education (i.e., it’s not just about the recent college graduates)

Prioritize the Opportunities Input: List of characterized opportunities (gaps) Output: Prioritized list of gaps and opportunities Process: For each gap, discuss the value proposition Prioritize through a vote the gaps

Scope the efforts Input: Prioritized list of gaps and opportunities Output: List of scoped opportunities Process: For each item in the list: Identify potential program adjustments Scope the effort and required time Identify the role of the external Council members in supporting the adjustments

Developing the 1.0 Roadmap to the Future Input: List of scoped opportunities Output: Roadmap of expected accomplishments with 6, 12, and 24 month milestones. Process: Determine the opportunities to pursue Apply a ZBB Gain concurrence on the set of selected opportunities Map the pursuits onto a roadmap

Closing Input: Roadmap of expected accomplishments and Captured ARs Output: List of assigned ARs Process: Review the list of ARs and assign them An AR includes: The identification of an owner (person responsible) The task to be pursued The due date for the AR
