Acquisition Teaming for Transformation: Process for Measuring

and Communicating the Purchasing (Orders) Status

On September 8, 2016, Frankie Jackson met with Kim Bowlin, Carla

Kennedy, Larry Barrios, Nancy Grella, and Frank Adian to discuss the

process of measuring and communicating from the time the purchase

order is generated to the time technology items are delivered and

installed at the campus (ready for use by the customer).

The team made a list of all steps that occur from the time the

technology product is requested to the time the technology arrives

and is installed at the customer’s location. The team generated the

following action items which will serve as a starting point for our future

discussions.

Action Items

• List all service providers

• List all potential statuses that are possible from each vendor

• Create new process to update the spreadsheet with all the POs associated with the

Isupport ticket that show status information regarding delivery of product /t hen find best

way to display to customer

• Define a way to track the time spent from step 1 to the next step

• Get a copy of Carla Kennedy's delivery ticket spreadsheet so we can determine if all fields

needs are available

Putting together a short video of Technology

Services staff (see here) made me smile every

time I watched it: and I watched it over and over

as I cut in the videos and music. I never got

tired of it. I know it is because I sincerely like

and care about everyone on this team. It’s great when we

enjoy what we do and are inspired by the level of impact we

have on students and staff. It’s icing on the cake when we

love coming to work and enjoy the people we get to work

with every day. There is not a day that goes by that I take

that for granted. I am so glad to be here! - Frankie Jackson
