    Final Report to the University Community
    (University of Minnesota: Administrative Service and Productivity Task Forces & Steering Committee, 2006-08-07) O'Brien, Kathleen; Bock, Terry; Carrier, Carol; Cawley, Steve; Kiedrowski, Jay; Klatt, Gail; Morrison, Fred; Pfutzenreuter, Richard; Rinehart, Gerald; Thrane, Linda; Fox, Meredith
    The president has challenged the University to move beyond the commendable continuous improvement work that brought us this far, and move into an era of transformational change. In order to achieve this change, hundreds of University citizens have contributed over the past 18 months to the creation of a transformational action plan for administrative operations. Each of the administrative task forces will wrap up their important planning and prioritization work by the fall of 2006. This report is a reflection of what was accomplished by the task forces and steering committee as well as recommendations for future action.

    In order to achieve a premier administrative operation that is integrated, results-based, and nimble, the Steering Committee believes that a targeted focus is necessary in the following areas: people; organization/structure; information; and culture. Each of the seven administrative task forces has a role to play in facilitating success of one or more of these frameworks. The following sections describe each framework’s importance to the transformation and the Steering Committee’s recommendation for near-term, transformative projects that will help drive success in that area.

    Transforming the University: Final Report of the AHC Precinct Plan Task Force
    (University of Minnesota, 2006-05-05) Bock, Terry; Forsyth, Ann
    The precinct plan for the Academic Health Center was completed in 2000 and approved by the Board of Regents in July, 2001. Since then, new buildings have been built, others have been renovated, programs have expanded, and new inter-professional, interscholastic programs are being formed within the AHC and with other areas of the University, including the Institute of Technology and the College of Biological Sciences. Additionally, to support the University’s goal to become one of the top three public research universities in the world, new facilities and new models for delivering health sciences research, education, and clinical care are needed. The AHC Precinct Plan needs to be updated, incorporating these changes and looking to the future.

    Transforming the University: Final Report of the AHC Precinct Plan Task Force
    (University of Minnesota, 2006-05-05) Bock, Terry; Forsyth, Ann
    The new AHC precinct plan must extend beyond the Minneapolis four square block area of earlier plans – to include the Riverside campus, the St. Paul campus, the growing research area near the proposed stadium, the area north and east of the Student Housing Superblock, as well as areas in Duluth and Rochester. The plan needs to encompass not only education and research, but patient care as well. Over the past six months, the task force identified and defined key strategic facility issues, planning principles, design concepts, and building needs for incorporation into a new precinct plan for the Academic Health Center.
