Governance

To facilitate the implementation of Workday and the Research Administration Management Portal, the Administrative Transformation Program has established a governance framework that includes representation from all Universities of Wisconsin.

Design Teams

Most of the decisions for process and task standardization are made by Design Teams, unless policy changes or broader approval is required by the governance group(s).

Functional Governance Groups

The finance, human resources, research administration, and IT governance groups approve key design decisions as needed, based on recommendations from the Design Teams. They also review decisions with system-wide policy or legislative impacts.
