It also specifies whether the job position will be new or existing. The first column of each matrix contains the
34、 inventory of job skills / tasks required of the audience group. For each skill/task, an “X” appears to the right in either the second or third column. If the audience group is expected to have the skill/task, an “X” appears in the second column, entitled “Current or Recruited Skills.” In this case,
35、 training will not be necessary. Otherwise, an “X” appears in the third column, entitled “Training Needs.” Training will be developed to address the skills/tasks identified by an “X” in this column.Process: General AccountingAudience: ControllersAudience Size: Approximately 40-賞醬!鲸醬贀醬!醬A醬言!醬贀!醬!醬蠀吁氂

38、how well their needs are being met. Building a business case requires these scores to be supplemented by other quantitative data to more clearly identify opportunities for reducing cost. For example: information from Brown Papers of project development activities can show bottlenecks and points wher

41、use this diagnostic with specific emphasis on: scope of diagnostic, preferred method of collection, and recommended tasks, responsibilities, and time frame.Scope of Diagnostic- Who and How Many?Selecting a representative customer base for the survey is important. The survey population should cover a
42、ll of the significant business areas receiving support from IS. Selecting the right managers to complete the survey is also important. They should be those users who rely upon computer applications and data to make business decisions and complete their daily activities. Also make sure that these are
43、 true users and not only IS liaisons who represent the business.You must also decide how many surveys to send out. This is driven by two factors- the size of the applications inventory and the size of the customer base. In general, 10% to 20% of the customer base should be sufficient for reliable su
44、rvey results. It is recommended that the survey be anonymous to encourage honest responses and useful comments. Ask for the name of the customers organization to allow the ability to observe trends in particular areas of the organization.Preferred Method of CollectionWorking with the IS organization, representative users should be identified. The surveys, along with an explanatory letter and an instruction page, should be distributed using intercompany mail or other similar method the client may have available.
