Challenge
There were issues with the payroll, including incorrect payments, which led to financial losses. Additionally, professor assignment was done manually, requiring in-person meetings to coordinate and build the class schedule by hand. The reports were generated incorrectly, creating a cycle of hidden expenses and costs. With over 500 professors to allocate using Excel spreadsheets, it took months to complete the faculty assignment.
Discovery
Using a service design approach, we mapped the end-to-end process of professor payments. We spoke with professors and analyzed the HR payment system to understand how it receives allocation data and how the registrar's office manages professor assignments.
Our investigation into four different registrar's offices, including conversations with their coordinators, highlighted significant inconsistencies. Despite using the same system, each office had its own unique process for assigning professors to undergraduate, postgraduate, and executive education courses. This led us to identify a lack of consistent business rules , shadow processes created as workarounds, and zero integration between assignment, HR, and payroll.
