Week 22: Administrative focus on implementation towards 1 September

To ensure progress in the administrative implementation, SAMF/SBS is establishing a joint programme for the new administration, which is expected to be approved by the two faculty management teams in the coming week. At the same time, work is being intensified within the joint administrative track, with area managers entering into close cooperation with the administrative managers at SAMF/SBS.

Administration Center Implementation

A key element of the programme is the establishment of the shared administration centre for SAMF and SBS, which will consist of the following five departments: Educational Communication, Educational Administration, DKL Hub, Research Support and Personnel & Finance. As a part of the programme the name of the administration centre and the names of the five departments will be established.

The establishment of the centre is based on the existing administration strategy "Excellent Professional Communities" with a vision of being: "Recognised for supporting SBS' and SAMF's activities and strategies professionally and efficiently through a seamless and exact collaboration in the overall administrative community".

As part of the establishment of the centre, an agreement must be reached  between the two "owners" on the centre's framework and day-to-day operations

(organisation, finances, strategy, cooperation, etc.). In addition, a new organisation and management group must be established, and the development of a joint culture and internal identity in the centre must be initiated.

The joint administrative track 

The joint administrative track was established as part the project organisation and, in collaboration with the other working groups, has been responsible for preparing the implementation of the new organisation. The programme for SAMF/SBS supports the coordination of efforts between the areas in the Central Administration and the relevant units in the current faculty administration, while also ensuring progress in the adaptation of processes and tasks.

At the steering committee meeting on 13 May, the process for adapting the web pages (sdu.dk, sdunet and mitsdu) was approved. The work is carried out in collaboration between SDU Communication, Educational Communication and the current Dean's Office at SAMF. In addition, the steering committee discussed the overall process for the financial division, which is coordinated by Financial Services.

SDU HR, Financial Services and SDU IT are preparing the organisational transfer of employees between the two new faculties, drawing on experience from the OSU process. SDU Education and SDU IT are also preparing an implementation plan to ensure the transfer of students within the study administrative systems.

Further information and questions

If employees have questions about the process, it is always possible to contact their immediate manager and/or a union representative. The site on https://sdunet.dk/da/service/business-school on SDUnet will also be updated regularly.

The next news is expected to be posted on SDUnet in week 24
