Moving Forward on the Management & OperationsImprovement Agenda: Next StepsFor the past two weeks, the McCallum Turner team has been onsite interviewing hundreds of employees and users. By meeting with approximately 20% of the lab staff, the eighteen team members learned how SLAC's management and operations (M&O) systems work. Before the McCallum-Turner team left SLAC, they participated in wrap-up sessions. In every one of the 11 areas, the wrap-up session started with a situation assessment. These were summaries of what they heard. We then heard general conclusions and recommendations from the situation assessment. These preliminary thoughts now need to be assessed, integrated, prioritized and resourced. Over the next few weeks, these early thoughts will be developed into a consistent and coherent set of recommendations with the assistance of the McCallum Turner team.
However, while these situation assessments and early conclusions are still being reviewed and validated, it is not too soon to share some of the things repeatedly heard in the wrap-up sessions as being critical to our success with the M&O improvement agenda: |

New Stanford Benefits Website and LogoThe Stanford Benefits Department is changing its logo, totally redesigning its web site, and going green. To contribute to the Sustainable Stanford program, Stanford Benefits is reducing the amount of printed materials they produce. All benefits information is now easily accessible on the department's newly redesigned website. The site offers easier navigation, a special section just for Open Enrollment (starting in late October), more information for retirees, a frequently asked questions section to help employees better understand how plans work, and a resource library for plan summaries, claim and other forms. Because of its various enhancements and improved content, the new website will allow Stanford Benefits to reduce the amount of paper used by 2.5 tons of paper a yearand that's just for Open Enrollment. Visit the new websiteand check out the new logoat http://benefits.stanford.edu (note the new URL, which no longer has a "u" after "benefits").
