...week 14 already.....see.....told you it would get here too fast. We are having finals within the next week or so and you guessed it.....I am not ready for this. However, I AM ready for the long break we are going to get over Christmas! I cannot wait to not have to think for awhile. Then I have one more semester....6 more classes.....and I graduate. THEN I have to go find a job :(....hopefully I will win some sort of lottery prior to that. It does not have to be a huge lottery, just enough so I do not HAVE to work. ;)
One of our discussions this week was to discuss why it is important to include others into a task of purchasing a new organization-wide IS. Well, one thing is teamwork and the feeling that you matter. I have worked in places where I did not matter....at all....and it eventually wears you down so you do not care at all about the place you are working at. To them you are a number and to you they become a paycheck....nothing more, nothing less. It is imperative to not let employees feel that way. You want to let them know they matter, because they do....each and every one of them. So by including them they feel needed and like they matter. But aside from that, it is important to include them because they are end users and they have input. They know what would make their life easier on a day to day basis and there is no way anyone else could know that unless they do that job every day. Each department within a facility is different and they all have different needs to complete their jobs. It is important to know what those needs are to get them implemented in the IS while it is being developed.
