Subject matter experts (SMEs) from a variety of units and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln central offices helped to identify current state processes and develop streamlined, standardized processes for institution-wide use. This work began in the Spring of 2019 with the Process Re-Engineering Working Groups and will continue through Fall of 2019 with the Process Optimization Committee. Later in 2019, SDI leadership plans to provide stakeholders across campus the opportunity to review the new processes and provide additional feedback prior to their finalization.

Process Optimization Committee
The Process Optimization Committee is charged with further refining the standardized processes that were developed by the process re-engineering working groups. This group will also rely on SMEs across campus to help identify solutions to process optimization barriers that were identified by the working groups. There will also be an opportunity for stakeholders across the institution to review the re-engineered processes and provide feedback.
