Involving different people in process improvement at universities makes these efforts much more effective. When faculty, staff, and students work together, they feel a sense of ownership and responsibility. Here’s how it works:
Different Points of View: Everyone has their own experiences and ideas. For example, teachers can see where the curriculum might be slow or confusing. Students, on the other hand, can point out problems with how things are run, like registration.
More Support: When people are part of the decision-making process, they are more likely to back the changes. For instance, if students share their thoughts during a feedback session, the university might improve the course registration process to make it easier.
Long-Lasting Changes: When people are involved, they are more likely to stick with the improvements. Imagine a project where teachers want to use new technology—having staff and students involved can help everyone learn how to use it better.
In short, getting stakeholders involved changes process improvement from being just orders from the top to a teamwork effort.
