Group

customer

interviews

are

currently

taking

place.

The

CSS
...
All

Hands
...
Meeting
...
will
...
be
...
held
...
on

Thursday,
...
January
...
28,
...
2010.
...
Would
...
like
...
the
...
group
...
to
...
be
...
as
...
interactive
...
as
...
possible.
...
Engagement – get people’s ideas more.
Not use the same format as we do for the last IS&T CSS All Hands Meeting
Pulse Groups have 4-6 questions cut up answers and give to another Pulse Group to see ideas and give their feedback. Allow to talk about things in a freer way. Thinking about how to do this.
Short list of questions and do Pulse exercise at the CSS All Hands Meeting on 1/28/10?

It

is

a

challenge

to

summarize

that

many

questions/answers.

Not

sure

if

the

the

size

of

Want

get

involved.
...
Not

question
...
to
...
meet

Irina

Vainstock
...
suggested
...
sending
...
out
...
questions
...
before
...
the
...
meeting
...
and
...
have
...
someone
...
collect
...
all
...
the
...
answers
...
and
...
put
...
it
...
together
...
for
...
the
...
All
...
Hands
...
Meeting
...
on
...
1/28/10.
...
It
...
would
...
be
...
ideal
...
to
...
let
...
people
...
submit
...
answers
...
anonymously.
...
Six
...
tables
...
– 1.5
...
hours
...
discussion
...
about
...
the
...
questions.
...
Mingling
...
around
...
and
...
float
...
from
...
table
...
to
...
table
...
to
...
discuss
...
various
...
answers.
...
Know
...
what
...
we
...
are
...
fishing
...
for?
...
After
...
fishing,
...
what
...
is
...
the
...
next
...
step?
...
The
...
next
...
steps
...
will
...
be

presented

and

there
...
will
...
be

some

up.

Already

next

step(s)

to

do

after

we

get

our

around

the

Is our

Mix

in

that

Do

Implementor

Hope

to

figure

out

is.

What

is

our

role

– more

support

or

does
...
MIT
...
tell

us
...
what
...
to

do
...
and
...
we
...
do
...
it?
...
Broad spectrum

sense

of

where
...
folks
...
see

themselves

and

IS&T.
...
We

can

do

some

research

around
...
that.

Budget – Anne
· Anne distributed a CSS FY11 Proposed Budget Summary Sheet & CSS Budget & Funding Source FY06-F11 Sheet
· Anne reviewed reductions, risks, assumptions for CSS & IS&T
· The Finance Team is currently working on a budget letter for Friday (1/8/10)
...
· The group reviewed the details of both handouts
· IS&T was asked to reduce its budget by 6 million overall in 2 years – a lot has been done but not enough yet
· The Finance Team has been charged to look at the organization for common standards that can be implemented such as: food for meetings, travel, professional development (the IT Leadership Program will not be funded)
· CSS has reduced outside trainers, reduced print paper
· The budget needs to be entered in NIMBUS in the Spring
· The major expense remains people
· If you look at trends the GIB is decreasing and TNIS and Revenue are not increasing
· In CSS open positions have been closed and people have not been hired
Q: How much further do we have to go for F11?
· It’s being looked at from IS&T perspective. We are more than ∏ way there.
Q: Is there a 1 page view of IS&T not just CSS?
· Anne is working on it.
Q: At some point can we have a better explanation of TNIS?
· Anne is working on that and is open to answer questions.
Next Steps
· The group felt that these documents are not confidential but should also not be distributed widely without any explanation or discussion
· Trust that they will be used in the right context
· Project Management will be part of next month’s agenda
