Process Simplification Advisory Committee
The committee identifies, prioritizes, and initiates projects, which seek to improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of services used by prospective and current students, faculty and staff.  Recommended projects should align with cross-functional institutional priorities. When recommending or approving a project, the committee stipulates a project’s purpose and expected benefits and recommends individuals to serve on the project team, balancing membership between the users’ viewpoint with the experience of individuals who are most informed about a process. The committee helps oversee the general progress of projects, ensuring that general issues which may surface during the course of a review are resolved in a timely manner, that projects are conducted in a way consistent with PS methodology, and that communication and cooperation among PS-sponsored initiatives and between PS and other institutional projects are maintained.  The committee also assists in fostering a pan-University culture of improvement in support of the institutional mission.
