Solving District Workflow Challenges: Collaborating across IT and Business Offices
A peer conversation about improving workflows, collaborating across departments, and managing change
Join us for lunch and a peer conversation about choosing, implementing and improving administrative workflows
School districts are being asked to do more with less. Teams are spread across departments and locations, administrative processes can still rely on paper and email, and staff are often spending valuable time moving information from one place to another.
Improving efficiency doesn't always require a major technology overhaul. It starts with identifying the right problems to solve, bringing the right people into the conversation, and finding practical ways to make work easier.
Join Informed K12 for an interactive Lunch & Learn featuring Bret Holthe, Director of Technology, and Sarah Gannaway, Student Data Administrator, from Fruitvale School District. They’ll share their experience improving everyday district workflows, working across IT and administrative teams, introducing new technology, and navigating the changes that come with doing things differently.
The event will feature an open, peer-driven conversation about the processes that slow districts down, how IT and business offices can work together to evaluate and implement new technology, and what it takes to help people successfully adopt new workflows.
