It was suggested that the themes be posted here, so here they are. I'm also game to hear any ideas you might have about a more pithy way refer to them.
o Leverage the strength of being ITS
o Recognize and affirm that IT at Penn State is larger than ITS, and strengthen our relationships with campuses and colleges
o Put the core business of Penn State in the center of service design and delivery
o Develop a culture of collaboration and teamwork

Within the realm of the Penn State Workflow Project we have endless opportunities to engage and collaborate with the University community and to be honest, this project cannot succeed without collaboration and participation of our stakeholders, business partners and users. That said, AIS is very intentional about recruiting leaders of the University community to serve in leadership roles in both committee work and advisory capacities. This has resulted not only in buy-in but more importantly, in ownership. We cannot spread enough kudos to the staff who have and continue to serve in these ways.
And within ITS, AIS is collaborating with ASET in new development initiatives for the role-management tool, WebRAT. For example, AIS is building skill sets in the discipline of business process analysts. This team will be instrumental in the EASY Re-engineering Project. But a starter project for this team will be gathering and documenting user requirements for the WebRole Request and WebRole Inquiry functionality that ASET will build into the WebRAT suite. End result: AIS gathers requirements, ASET builds application and users use the tool.
