Parking Lot

 

 

 

  • Premortem actions (PM)

  • Communication recommendations from meetings with chairs (COM)

  • Lessons learned from Melvy/OCLC WCL about customization; UC Path micro-accommodations that caused delays and issues. Fewer customizations means stability and nimbleness to innovate: Transformation will happen the more we can standardize. Campuses will be responsible for their own IZ but the network zone must be protected. (from pre-mortem review)

  • Coordinator-level chairs meeting: Define the problem statement and the desired outcome for the meeting.
