Findings
The notes below represent a distillation of these conversations and are recorded here so the wider team can read them and comment/augment:
...
- Paul met with Alison Munro, Carol Sorenson and Denise Blackett on 12/5/15
- Faculty and School are tight/on the same page, mostly due to the 1-2-1 relationship.
- This means working together will be easy, efficient and harmonious.
- Early on the three participants had an "operation level" or compliance type expectations of WIP (i.e. refresh the content). By the end (I believe) they saw this as a "tactical" opportunity.
- In turn, this raised issues about resourcing (to support the development of their new site)
- They remember previous redevelopments, and not always fondly/positively. A lot of experience and knowledge we can tap in to
- Some of the memories are of things they wanted previously but were told no/it is out of scope. I encouraged them to share all ideas, as this is the "elicitation" stage - Prioritisation comes later.
- Denise has issues regarding the accessibility of support from the web team, or rather the lack of it (she wants to be listened to). I asked them to share these in the content management session.
- Pathways to employment are important (due to professional body), as is industry and alumini connections
- No not see themselves as similar enough to VBS to share a workshop.
