In 2012, the University of Colorado System Administration began a process of self-assessment of its 20
administrative units and service centers to determine if they are meeting the university’s identified
needs. The administrative unit review process includes a unit self-assessment, an external stakeholder
assessment, a review of findings with unit managers, and development of recommendations and action
plans which are presented to the System Vice Presidents. In addition:
Current shared services are evaluated and units are asked to consider areas where shared
services could be improved; and
Current processes which could benefit from additional review and analysis are identified.
To date, the following units have completed their reviews:
Vice President for Budget and Finance
Procurement Services Center
Office of University Controller
University Risk Management
Administrative Unit Reviews, currently in progress:
Payroll and Benefit Services
