Thank you all for providing some great feedback on the June 16-17 meeting! The survey results supported our observations that the meeting was a success. And yes....the meeting rooms were cold!
Overall, confidence was expressed in the success of the ESUP project. The top three sessions that rated as highly effective were: Workstream Intersections with Sue Van Voorhis, Mike Volna, Lori Lamb; Module Intersections Panel on Student PS Experience; and Training Approaches and Updates with Heather Micek, Jennifer Love, Nancy Killian.
While the feedback showed the group was very focused toward the hard data sessions and the live demonstration, many were delighted that President Kaler and Robert McMaster were able to make time in their schedules to recognize the important work of the ESUP Student team.
The All Campus Module Team report-out information regarding the teams challenges has been gathered by the Communications and Change Management team (CCT). This information will be shared with Sue Van Voorhis and the Project Leadership team and work will continue as to alleviate these challenges whenever possible. The output from the Addressing Difficult Changes with Stakeholders session with Kate Sophia, John Vollum, Lea Bittner-Eddy, Scott Bernard, Patty Bales, Jen Mein, and Matt Tveter is being shared with the CCT group for use in future planning.
Many of you expressed the need for more module time. The survey revealed the face-to-face meeting format is irreplaceable and the module time was extremely effective in getting work done. We will work to incorporate more module time in future events.
Additionally, many of you provided feedback and suggestions regarding the social component of the meeting (did someone say scavenger hunt, or was that happy hour?). The majority liked the idea of a baseball outing (despite the weather not cooperating). The "kudos" was a little under the radar, so in the future we will work to better highlight this type of recognition.
The feedback on the facilities and food were positive. The buffets were a hit but the breaks were a bit short (and Starbucks did a nice bit of business on our coffee demands!).
Finally, thank you to those of you who took time to complete the survey. We will act on the feedback as we begin planning the next event for early November to be held in the Twin Cities.
