SOM Proposals for Improvement

The following six pages contain a report I made for my previous employer, the Fred Fox School of Music at The University of Arizona. I took the initiative to compile a number of improvements to the way we operated. Having been a part of the team for five years in various roles, I believe my perspective would be useful for current and future employees.

I presented the report by requesting a round table discussion with three of my managers, as well as the newest employees to get the widest variety of feedback and discussion that I could. The report was printed and provided to each person with a pen for notes (after coffee and donuts of course) with 15 minutes of silent reading. What resulted was a very productive conversation on what could be changed, what couldn’t, and what actions to take next. For example, we began work on the instrument care sheet (page 4 of the report, the furthest left from this paragraph) after the meeting concluded.
The results of that are on this page↗
