This is reflected in the organisational structure of CIM as shown above.
The division Project-Management and Cross-Sectional Tasks takes on the
management of CIM projects in a portfolio and spreads project management
knowhow throughout the organisation. Project-management provides
planning and coordination methods to ensure achievement of predefined
goals in the required time and budget frames and quality. The progress of
the projects is constantly monitored, information on the achievement of
milestones or the conclusion of projects is continuously made available.
Cross sectional regular tasks, such as information activities or maintenance
of IT security are coordinated by the division Project-Management
and Cross Sectional Tasks.
5.2.2 Staff Development
On account of the rapidity of innovation cycles in Information Technology
there has been a long tradition in the computing and media centres,
data processing units of library and administration of implementing technical
training for staff. This is continued by CIM.
But over and above technical training, CIM has embarked on a comprehensive
process of developing its managerial staff.
Together with the department for staff development CIM is currently implementing
a process of management development in four steps:
I. Individual (self-)analysis of senior management and discussion on
guidelines and principles of leadership
II. Definition of the essential principles of leadership and of essentials
for goal agreements
III. Communication of the new leadership principles to all the members
of staff in CIM and workshops for all managerial staff members to
acquire the principles and methods of “active leadership”
IV. Reflection, evaluation of the process and further planning
This process has begun just recently and is scheduled to run until the end of
2007.
