EDUCAUSE Southwest Regional Conference Think Stop #2
Created by Lida L. Larsen (EDUCAUSE) on March 03, 2008

EDUCAUSE Southwest Regional Conference Think Stop #2EDUCAUSE Southwest Regional Conference Think Stop #2. Question: How do we move from working in reactive mode and into proactive mode? Responses: Moving from reactive to proactive requires a cultural shift that needs to be deliberately planned and executed over time - change management is critical. Proactive behaviors are rewarded - reactive behaviors are discouraged. By planning?! Step back...to see the bigger picture & talk. Encourage reflection with periodic retreats, whether departmental or by workgroup. Try to involve people who are open minded and forward thinking in your planning/decision making process. Focus on what's good about what's not and then strive to make it better. Allow well intentioned mistakes to occur w/o punishment. Schedule time for planning & execution - work on important but not urgent things.

EDUCAUSE Southwest Regional Conference Think Stop #3
Created by Lida L. Larsen (EDUCAUSE) on March 03, 2008

EDUCAUSE Southwest Regional Conference Think Stop #3EDUCAUSE Southwest Regional Conference Think Stop #3. Question: Green initiatives: Who's doing what to move towards sustainability? Responses: Turning equipment OFF when not in use! But we use it for heat! Duplexers on printers in stu.labs - default to print both sides. Copy machines that only output to .PDF & e-mail the .PDF. Require all institutional computers to power-off after hours. Large (administrative mainframe) jobs "printed" to disk storage (we use Xythos webdav). Go green campaign.
