New locations
Redefine services
Merge services
Realign staff
![Page 11: Sheree Kornkven and Jared Hall Information Technology Services North Dakota State University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062511/551a0e315503462e378b4d9d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. Unified Program- Challenges• Apprehension that STS would:
– affect well-established management structure in workgroups
– impact individual jobs– change long-standing policies
• Confusion about reporting structure
Who do I report to???

Change . . .“It’s not so much that we’re afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it’s that place in between that we fear. . . . It’s like being between trapezes. It’s Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There’s nothing to hold onto.” - Marilyn Ferguson, American Futurist
