Hi All,
My director has come up with an idea for an IT department "Outreach" program. I'm not sure what made him think this is a good idea. What this entails is that each of the IT staff (4 of us) is assigned a certain number of directors (6 - 10 depending on department size) to find out any issues, upcoming projects, wish lists...ect.
We, the staff, has to do it so we can "better understand the needs of the departments". We will have an IT department meeting about coming up with ways to communicate with the directors of other departments ie. face to face meeting + a online forum for the directors to add anything they forgot + reminders (email, phone calls). So from the sounds of it I am going to become a telemarketer/spammer to the directors.
Has anyone done something similar and if so what did you do and how effective was it?
Thanks for your comments!
