How do you improve operational processes by developing closer team collaboration? Working to my strength of hands-on involvement, I mentored team members, pushed them to step up and find the roles they are best suited to, and delivered results that exceeded our targets. Teams reporting to me were responsible for the configuration, execution, and support of core operational systems (Peoplesoft Campus) and processes (Student data reporting, Catalogue publication, census processing, University data exchange).Key achievement - We proposed and implemented improvements to our annual catalogue publication process to publish 9 weeks earlier than in previous years.
