Title: A “ROADMAP” TO RE-ORGANIZATION<br />

Abstract:<br />

Poster Abstracts<br />

Senior Research Administrators are continually faced with the challenge <strong>of</strong> reorganizing operations.<br />

Whether it is due to obtaining a new position in their existing organization or another<br />

institutions, project management, overall institutional restructuring, budget pressures or mission<br />

changes there are common principals, practices and new opportunities and trends to guide our<br />

senior administrators to success. Developing a master plan prior to implementation <strong>of</strong> reorganization<br />

is the key. Knowing what to consider, review and use, and discard is the success factor.<br />

Focusing on making sure the right team, service and operational needs are met is a must. Formal<br />

education is this area is limited and accumulated personal knowledge and experience or corporate<br />

culture usually influences the individual on how to approach these tasks. This model or “roadmap”<br />

is a compilation <strong>of</strong> useful trends, processes and concepts that can be adapted to meet each unique<br />

situation, however focusing on a process for implementation. <strong>The</strong> outcome <strong>of</strong> its use is the basis<br />

for knowing where your organization is in the process, pinpointing where you want to go, what<br />

you need and how to get there, i.e. your master plan!<br />
