About

The Transformation Realization Office (TRO) provides a Framework for Tarleton to:

  • Prioritize resources on the delivery of high-priority, transformational initiatives that align with the strategic priorities of the University;
  • Execute complex initiatives with the right resources, funding, and priorities to accelerate value to our stakeholders; and
  • Analyze our core processes and identify opportunities for improvement, automation, and scalability to grow with Tarleton.

Framework for Project and Change Initiatives

The Transformation Realization Office provides a framework to plan and execute transformational change initiatives with transparency for Executive Sponsors and the Cabinet; identify and escalate risks before they become issues; and provide a consistent, integrated approach to delivery that is defined, repeatable, and monitored. One of the key deliverables for the project is a workplan that includes change management activities to engage stakeholders, promote awareness of the changes, and ensure training.

Framework for Process Improvement

The Transformation Realization Office provides a framework for documenting processes in an inventory, identifying process owners and data owners, and documenting process mapping for future automation and process improvement.
