| BUSINESS PROCESS SELF-ASSESSMENT
BPSA is a process whereby departments
evaluate the effectiveness of their business processes using a variety of
specific criteria. BPSA tools currently available for academic
departments to assess their activities include the following:
BPSA SURVEY
A periodic survey administered to a random
sample of employees in participating departments across the campus.
The actual survey instrument that an employee receives depends on whether
they are faculty or staff. Surveys are often customized to meet the
needs of the particular self assessment process agreed to with
management. Some sample surveys are included here for reference:
faculty/researcher
or management/staff
SURVEY
CONSULTATIONS
Meetings
with Department Management to discuss survey results, on an as-requested
basis.
BPSA WORKSHOPS
Two to four hour workshop, facilitated by
AMAS, in which process owners evaluate the effectiveness of their
processes via exercises, discussion, and development of actions plans as
needed.
SELF-ASSESSMENT
GUIDANCE A risk-based
approach to reviewing department financial activity using currently
available Financial Link tools, a Departmental Self-Assessment Model, and
the AMAS Guidance
Matrix. Selected BPSA tools
are often incorporated into our traditional audits. |
