IT@QUT QUT's IT Transformation Phase 2: Final Change Management and Implementation Plan (CMIP) Learning Environments and Technology Services (LETS)
1 Introduction
The background and rationale for change was outlined in QUT’s IT Transformation – Phase 2: Draft
Change Management and Implementation Plan – Learning Environments and Technology Services
(LETS) (‘draft CMIP’) and, prior to that, QUT’s IT Transformation – Proposal for Change Phase 2:
Learning Environments and Technology Services (‘the Proposal’).

There are seven (7) aspects to the change:
   • Development of a new service delivery model for technology services
   • Changes to the LETS leadership team
            o Establishment of a new Associate Director, Technology Support position.
   • Development of a new approach to the management of service portfolios
            o Creation of two (2) new Service Manager positions for two broad service portfolios
            o Discontinuing the Manger, Service Design and Business Process position.
   • Changes to the delivery of technology support
            o Creation of five (5) ongoing Technology Partner positions to strategically partner with
                faculties / institutes / divisions.
            o Discontinuing the six (6) ‘IT Coordinator’ positions
            o Structures and position descriptions for technology support roles be simplified and
                refreshed; linked HEW Level position descriptions to be discontinued.
   • The management of Learning Environments is made more consistent through the
       implementation of an enterprise AV technology service
            o Creation of two (2) new positions (Manager, Learning Environments Design and
                Projects (HEW10); and Project Manager (SaMA projects) (HEW8)) to manage learning
                environments projects and support and maintenance activities
   • Lecture Capture support realigns from LETS to ITS, to be consistent with other learning and
       teaching systems support
            o Staff currently supporting the Lecture Capture system realign from LETS to ITS
   • Hardware and software procurement activities realign from ITS to LETS to be consistent with
       other client computing support activities.

This Final Change Management and Implementation Plan (‘Final CMIP’) outlines:
    • The Change Decision;
    • Feedback and response on the Proposed Implementation of the Change Decision, and
    • Implementation of the Change Decision.

1.1       Interdependencies with the ITS and SPMO Proposal for Change
In response to the ITS and SPMO Proposal for Change released on 18 April, many considerate and
insightful responses were submitted. As at 16 May, the Transformation team, HR, and ITS and SPMO
senior leaders are continuing to follow up with some staff and stakeholders on the feedback received
to further inform the decisions being made. To allow time for that work to be undertaken, the ITS and
SPMO Draft CMIP is still being prepared, and will be released on Tuesday 22 May 2018. The ITS and
SPMO Final CMIP, to be released in June, will provide additional detail about transition planning and
recruitment processes, which will proceed as one process encompassing LETS, ITS and SPMO
positions.

2 Change decision
Based on the rationale in the Proposal, feedback from staff and stakeholders during the consultation
process and further consideration by the University, it was determined that change is required as
outlined below.

2.1.1 Changes to service portfolio management
It has been decided to create two (2) new ongoing Service Manager (HEW10) positions for two broad
service portfolio areas:

      •    Service Manager, Collaboration and Communication; and
      •    Service Manager, Client Technology Services & Support.

3
IT@QUT QUT's IT Transformation Phase 2: Final Change Management and Implementation Plan (CMIP) Learning Environments and Technology Services (LETS)
A copy of the position descriptions for the Service Manager roles are included in Appendix C.

It has been decided to transfer the Collaborative Technologies Information Management Officer
(HEW 7) from the Library to LETS to report to the Service Manager, Collaboration and Communication.

It has been decided to discontinue the following position as it is no longer required:

    •   Manager, Service Design and Business Processes (Governance and Quality) (HEW9).

2.1.2 Changes to the delivery of technology support
It has been decided to create five (5) ongoing strategic engagement ‘business partner’ positions, titled
Technology Partners (HEW9):

    •   Technology Partner – Divisions
    •   Technology Partner – Health / IHBI
    •   Technology Partner – SEF / IFE
    •   Technology Partner – Business / Law
    •   Technology Partner – CI / Education / QUTIC

A copy of the position description for the Technology Partner role is included in Appendix C.

It has been decided to discontinue the following six (6) ‘IT Coordinator’ positions as they are no longer
required:

    •   Manager, Information Technology (HEW9)
    •   IT Manager (HEW8)
    •   Team Leader - IT & Web (HEW8)
    •   Digital Services and Information Manager (HEW8)
    •   Information Technology Team Leader (HEW8)
    •   Information Technology Services Coordinator (HEW7)

It has been decided that structures and position descriptions for technology support roles will be
simplified and refreshed and that future Technology Support Officer positions will be classified at one
level, rather than linked across two classification levels (i.e. HEW5/HEW6 linked).

    •   incumbents currently occupying a linked HEW5/HEW6 Technology Support Officer position at
        the HEW6 classification level will transition to a HEW6 Technology Support Officer role.
    •   incumbents currently occupying a linked HEW5/HEW6 Technology Support Officer position at
        the HEW5 classification level will transition to a HEW5 Technology Support Officer role.
    •   ‘specialist’ technology support roles realigned to TILS during Phase 1 will directly transition to
        the organisational structure as follows:
            o HEW7 positions will be directly transitioned to a new, common position description titled
                 Senior Specialist Technology Support Officer (HEW7);
            o HEW6 positions will be directly transitioned to a common position description titled
                 Specialist Technology Support Officer (HEW6); and
            o one (1) HEW4 Computer Support Assistant will directly transition to a Specialist
                 Technology Support Assistant (HEW4) position.

It has been decided that one (1) new ongoing Logistics Officer (HEW5) position will be created.

It has been decided to discontinue the following position as it is no longer required:

    •   Applications Programmer (HEW7).

The Technology Support organisational chart is at Appendix A: Figure 2. All position descriptions are
at Appendix C.

IT@QUT QUT's IT Transformation Phase 2: Final Change Management and Implementation Plan (CMIP) Learning Environments and Technology Services (LETS)
2.1.3 Implementation of enterprise AV technology service
It has been decided to create two (2) new positions to support an enterprise approach to AV support
for non-specialist teaching rooms and meeting rooms:

    •   Manager, Learning Environments Design and Projects (HEW10).
    •   Project Manager (SaMA projects) (HEW8).

Position descriptions for these positions are included in Appendix C.

It has been decided that the two (2) technology support positions (HEW6) (Technology Support Officer
# 50025 and Systems Specialist #123218) in the Learning Environments team will be reduced to one
(1) position. If either of these two staff are not successful in obtaining a position in the new LETS, ITS
or SPMO structure, then the reduction of one (1) position will be achieved through a process of inviting
Expressions of Interest for a Voluntary Redundancy and, if required, Involuntary Redundancy.

2.1.4 Realigning positions supporting Lecture Capture system to ITS
It has been decided to transfer the Lecture Capture system’s management, support, and positions from
LETS to ITS:

    •   the Technology Support Officer (Lecture Capture) (HEW6)
    •   the contracts of the two fixed-term Lecture Capture positions will be honoured.

2.1.5 Realigning support for hardware and software procurement from ITS
It has been decided to realign the hardware and software procurement function into LETS. Workforce
impacts of this change are as follows:

    •   a new ongoing Software Licensing Officer (HEW6) position will be created within LETS. The
        position description is included in Appendix C.
    •   two ongoing positions within ITS’ procurement team will be discontinued as they are no longer
        required:
            o Software Licensing Coordinator (HEW7)
            o Administrative Assistant (HEW4)
    •   the contracts of the two fixed-term positions within ITS procurement team will be honoured;
            o Software Licensing Assistant (HEW5)
            o Software Acquisitions Assistant (HEW5)

2.1.6 Changes to the LETS leadership team
Recruitment to the Director, LETS position is currently underway, following the departure of the former
Director in January 2018. The current acting Director, LETS is on secondment from HiQ.

The Associate Director, Learning Environments position will continue.

A new Associate Director, Technology Support position (SSG) has been created, and recruitment will
commence shortly. The role will become a key part of the proposed LETS leadership team and be
responsible for the delivery of new client-focused service model.

The Technology Support Manager position, which was created as a temporary role to assist with the
transition of technology roles into LETS, will not continue.

3 Implementation feedback
There were two (2) written submissions received from staff during the consultation period on the
proposed implementation of the change decision outlined in the Draft CMIP. Verbal feedback was also
provided to the Change Sponsor and others through wider consultation across the University. Verbal
feedback was also provided to the Change Sponsor (DVC (TILS)) by the National Tertiary Education
Union (NTEU) and Together Branch of ASU during a recent Joint Consultative Committee meeting with
QUT.

IT@QUT QUT's IT Transformation Phase 2: Final Change Management and Implementation Plan (CMIP) Learning Environments and Technology Services (LETS)
3.1      Staff feedback
3.1.1 Document error
There was feedback regarding the use of an incorrect position title in one of the organisational charts
included in the Draft CMIP.

    University response to feedback related to 3.1.1

    The University notes this feedback and the organisational charts have been corrected for inclusion
    in this Final CMIP.

3.1.2 Technology Support Officer position title
There was feedback regarding the use of the position title Technology Support Officer for both the
HEW 5 and HEW 6 positions in the Technology Support team. The feedback proposed that the
HEW 6 Technology Support position be renamed Senior Technology Support Officer to differentiate
between the positions at the two classification levels.

    University response to feedback related to 3.1.2

    As was noted in the Draft CMIP, there were a number of pieces of feedback on the Proposal for
    Change regarding the position title for Technology Support Officers, particularly to the proposed
    change in title for Technology Support Officers at a HEW 5 level to Client Service Officer. The
    feedback was considered by the Change Sponsor and LETS leadership team, and with advice from
    HR at that time, the title was reverted to Technology Support Officer, with further consultation invited
    from staff.

    The IT Transformation Program team appreciates the feedback suggesting ‘Senior’ be incorporated
    into the HEW 6 Technology Support Officer position title. However, there is a need for consistency
    with the use of the Senior demarcation for other roles at a HEW 7 in the same department. For that
    reason, it will not be used for a HEW 6 Technology Support Officer role. The position description
    sets out the difference between the duties and responsibilities of the two roles.

3.1.3 Technology Partner role and position description
There was feedback regarding the Technology Partner role. Specifically this feedback asked about the
assignment of Technology Partners to specific faculties and knowledge transfer between staff in
Technology Partner roles. This feedback also listed a number of tasks and activities currently
undertaken by IT Coordinators on behalf of the faculties they are aligned with, and noted that not all
activities are specifically identified in the Technology Partner position description.

    University response to feedback related to 3.1.3

    The University notes this feedback and acknowledges the importance of knowledge transfer across
    all technical roles including the Technology Partner. A number of activities, including the
    development of a knowledge database, have already commenced to facilitate knowledge transfer
    among the IT Coordinators’ group. Technology Partner staff will be a team and this will also further
    drive knowledge sharing and will be used to manage workload across client areas.

    Position descriptions do not include all tasks undertaken by staff but outline the typical activities,
    duties and capabilities required. The activities of the roles will be further co-designed in collaboration
    with the staff who are appointed to the roles and with client areas. There will be a need to review
    these services in an ongoing way to ensure consistency of service across client areas. Consultation
    on these services with faculties, institutes and divisions has commenced during the IT Transformation
    Program and will continue as the CMIP is implemented.

6
3.2       Feedback from unions
The NTEU provided one response containing consolidated feedback in relation to the LETS Draft CMIP
and to the ITS and SPMO Proposal for Change. Below is general feedback provided on both documents
and specific feedback relating to the LETS Draft CMIP.

3.2.1 Impact on key services
The NTEU indicated that many of their members recognise that change can be a positive force to drive
efficiencies and improve effectiveness but concerns were held about the way the current proposals will
be implemented and the impact that it may have on support for key services.

    University response to feedback related to 3.2.1

    The university recognises the critical importance of delivering quality and responsive service to both
    staff and students of the university. Whilst services may be delivered in different ways the focus will
    be on ensuring that all staff and students receive a high level of service, one which is designed and
    delivered from their perspective as users.

    Simplifying processes through redesign and system improvements aims to improve the user
    experience at an enterprise level and remove differential service delivery between organisational
    areas of the university.

3.2.2 Impact on staff
In summary, the NTEU members were concerned about:

      •    a loss of experienced and competent staff
      •    an increase in middle management at the expense of a decrease in frontline staff
      •    extended wait time to fix outages and respond to service issues
      •    increased workload and decreased morale for remaining staff

    University response to feedback related to 3.2.2

    The proposed organisational structure and staffing allocation has been designed to ensure that
    experienced and capable staff are transitioned to the new service delivery model. Additional training
    will be provided to all staff where required, which will also promote career development opportunities.

    The new service delivery model is predicated on a number of key principles including promoting and
    maximising self-service where possible. This will free staff to focus on higher level strategic and
    tactical operations. Importantly, staff and students will always be able to have their issues resolved
    by TILS staff if self-service options are not appropriate. For these reasons, it is not anticipated that
    wait time to fix outages or response to service issues will increase. The intention is to have
    specialised and trained staff deployed in critical areas to minimise service disruption, outages and
    delays in the first instance.

    The new model is not about increasing the workload of staff. However, the activities that some staff
    are currently performing may change or cease, or the way they undertake them may be different.
    The workload of staff will be carefully monitored by supervisors and managers, and staff will be
    encouraged to escalate any issues of concerns immediately.

7
3.2.3 Employment arrangements
The NTEU also commented that the proposals did not address the various employment arrangements
currently in place for different roles such as flexible hours, TOIL, etc.

    University response to feedback related to 3.2.3

    The current employment arrangements in place with supervisors/managers will continue where
    possible for the agreed period.

    Staff are encouraged to discuss these arrangements with their new supervisors as soon as possible.
    Decisions about continuing any arrangement will be made by the new supervisor following discussion
    with the relevant staff member.

The Together Branch of the ASU also provided one response containing consolidated feedback in
relation to the LETS Draft CMIP, and the ITS and SPMO Proposal for Change, and the Finance and
Resource Planning Transformation Proposal for Change. Below is general feedback provided which is
relevant to the LETS Draft CMIP.

3.2.4 Job families
Some concern was expressed that from the proposed job descriptions and job titles that it appears that
decisions had already been made about which staff would transition into the positions in job families in
the new structure.

    University response to feedback related to 3.2.4

    There have been no decisions made about which staff in job families would transition to the new
    structure. All staff in job families have the option to apply for positions in the new structure. Should
    the reduction of staff to the job families not be achieved through this recruitment process (or a
    subsequent recruitment process) then Expressions of Interest will be invited for a Voluntary
    Redundancy (clause 58.4) and, if required, an Involuntary Redundancy process (clause 58.5). The
    particular role that staff members remaining in the job family will transition to will be a decision made
    by the relevant supervisor following discussion with staff.

3.2.5 Recruitment and selection processes
Together supported the decision to provide opportunity for fixed-term staff to apply for any vacancies
ahead of any external advertising but would like the University to consider voluntary redundancy options
in the first instance.

    University response to feedback related to 3.2.5

    The University would like to clarify that it is not a requirement that staff in discontinued positions apply
    for roles in the new structure: it is an individual’s choice and decision about whether to apply for
    vacant roles.

    The University acknowledges that some staff may like to accept a redundancy, however, in job
    families to be reduced in size, it is not possible to provide the option of Voluntary Redundancy in the
    first instance (that is, before the recruitment and selection processes) because relevant staff within
    the job family may secure opportunities in the new structure through those recruitment and selection
    processes. This may result in there being no surplus within job families which would mean that bona
    fide redundancies could not be offered. (It remains the case that any redundancies as part of the IT
    Transformation Program are not offered to people in any position, but only to people in those
    particular positions no longer required.)

8
4 Implementation of the change decision
4.1       Commencement
Progressive implementation of the changes to the LETS organisational structure will be undertaken in
coordination with other activities of the IT Transformation Program. In particular, recruitment to vacant
positions will not commence until the ITS and SPMO Draft CMIP is released, and feedback on that Draft
CMIP received and considered. Given that, and as per Section 1.1, the Final CMIP for ITS and SPMO
will provide the definitive information for ITS, SPMO and LETS implementation of change.

The following key activities will need to be completed for this LETS implementation to occur:

      •    Transition plan developed with staff involvement. Please refer to the ITS and SPMO Draft
           CMIP for information about this process
      •    Transfer of staff
      •    Recruitment to vacant positions
      •    Consultation with stakeholders and finalisation of service and engagement models.

These activities will be undertaken at different times and where specific schedules are currently known,
they are outlined in this CMIP. The activities will be sequenced and managed to maintain business
continuity to ensure that high quality service delivery continues during the transition period. Maximising
employment security for staff is also a key consideration.

The IT Transformation Program team will coordinate these activities. Where timelines are not currently
known or are dependent on the outcomes of other IT Transformation activities, these will be
communicated to impacted staff by the IT Transformation Program team.

4.2       Recruitment and selection processes
There are twelve (12) new positions created in the LETS department as a result of this change (that is,
eleven (11) staff positions and one (1) senior leadership position).

In determining the process to fill new positions, the University is committed to maximising job security
for ongoing staff whose positions are being discontinued, or whose job family is being reduced in
number, and to avoid redundancies where possible. The IT Transformation Program is also committed
to ensuring business continuity is maintained so that services are not unintentionally disrupted during
the implementation of the changes.

To balance these principles, a three-stage approach will be followed for recruitment of staff into new
positions:

1. Internal advertisement of positions to a pool of affected staff from LETS, ITS, and the SPMO
   consisting of:
        • Ongoing staff whose substantive position is no longer required, and
        • Ongoing staff whose position is part of a job family to be reduced in number in the new
            structure. (“Eligible Staff”)
2. If suitable candidates cannot be identified for all positions from the initial (Stage 1) recruitment
   process, unfilled positions will then be opened to TILS staff who are;
        • In fixed-term roles, or
        • In ongoing positions directly transitioning to the new structure. (The introduction of this
            category of staff is the result of feedback received on the ITS and SPMO Proposal for
            Change. All staff are encouraged to refer to the ITS and SPMO Draft CMIP and Final CMIP
            for further details.)
3. If suitable candidates cannot be identified for all positions during Stage 2, all unfilled positions will
   then be opened to all QUT staff, and external applicants and will be advertised externally.

In acknowledgement of the later release of the ITS and SPMO Proposal for Change, and to allow
Eligible Staff to apply for new / unoccupied positions in the proposed structures (of LETS, ITS and the
SPMO), recruitment will commence at a time that provides all Eligible Staff with the opportunity to apply
for suitable positions.

9
The recruitment process will be aligned across the LETS, ITS and SPMO changes. Any changes to
the recruitment process arising from feedback to the ITS and SPMO Proposal for Change and Draft
CMIP will also be applied to the LETS CMIP. At this stage, the recruitment process is scheduled to
commence on 18 June. However any changes to the ITS and SPMO Proposal for Change (for example,
in response to feedback) could impact on these timelines. The IT Transformation Program team will
coordinate further communications regarding timelines and processes for advertisement and
recruitment to affected staff across LETS, ITS and the SPMO.

The material to be submitted by Eligible Staff as part of the application process will be outlined in the
relevant position description under the heading ‘How to Apply’. The relevant panel chair will shortlist
and determine all further selection processes. Shortlisted candidates will be advised of the relevant
selection processes and will have the opportunity to advise if they have a disability and require any
reasonable adjustment to the selection process.

The panel will only recommend appointment of Eligible Staff if they are considered suitable.

4.3   Position transfer process
There are three (3) positions which will be transferred out of LETS and into other areas and one (1)
position which will transfer into LETS. These positions will transfer at a time determined by the
DVC (TILS) in consultation with the staff members, their current managers, and the managers of their
new organisational areas.

4.4   Position title and description updated
The majority of positions across LETS will transfer directly to the new structure. Position titles will be
updated as indicated in Section 3 and position descriptions will be simplified and refreshed. New
position descriptions will be made available to staff and their supervisors. Position titles will be updated
as part of the implementation, commencing from Monday 21 May.

4.5   Discontinued positions
There are ten (10) discontinued positions.

To ensure business continuity and knowledge transfer, staff will remain in their current positions
undertaking their current duties until a redundancy date (if required) has been determined. It is likely
that a redundancy date will not be before 30 September 2018.

QUT has an obligation to avoid redundancies wherever possible. If there are consequential vacancies
(resulting from stages 1 and 2 of the internal recruitment processes) HR will contact those staff
members who remain in a discontinued position, or in a job family that is still to be reduced, to determine
if they intend to apply for those consequential vacancies. Depending on their intentions, HR will work
with TILS to determine the next steps. Although this may cause some delays, it will ensure that all staff
at risk of redundancy have every opportunity to secure alternate employment in the University. It will
also ensure that any redundancy is a bona fide redundancy.

10
Staff in discontinued positions who do not secure alternate positions will be advised in writing that they
may elect one of the following options, as outlined within the Enterprise Agreement:

      •    Agree to a voluntary redundancy;
      •    Seek Redeployment in accordance with the University’s Redeployment policy (B/11.3
           Redeployment); or
      •    Seek a review of the decision that the position is redundant.

Eligible Staff will be able to obtain a redundancy quotation by contacting Rebecca Millard, Human
Resources Project Officer, at rebecca.millard@qut.edu.au.

Some staff have substantive positions which are being discontinued but are currently on secondment
or on a concurrent fixed-term contract which may end after the redundancy date or redeployment date.
In this case, the redundancy date or redeployment date will be the date their secondment or concurrent
fixed-term contract ends, and there will be no further extension to the secondment or concurrent fixed-
term contract.

A staff member whose position is being discontinued can apply for any other position/s at QUT outside
of this change process. Where the staff member is appointed to an ongoing position either before the
redundancy date or within three (3) months of the redeployment date, they will not be entitled to any
redundancy benefit.

4.6       Reduction in job families
The two (2) technology support positions (HEW6) (Technology Support Officer # 50025 and Systems
Specialist #123218) in the Learning Environments team will be reduced to one (1) position.

Both staff members substantively appointed to the technology support positions (HEW6) (Technology
Support Officer # 50025 and Systems Specialist #123218) are eligible to apply for any vacancies
created through this change process and any that may be created as part of the ITS and SPMO change
process, via the relevant recruitment and selection process.

If neither is appointed to a new vacant position in LETS, ITS or SPMO, then a reduction of one (1) FTE
is required. In this case, the redundancy provisions in the Enterprise Agreement will be applied with a
call for a Voluntary Redundancy (clause 58.4) and, if required, an Involuntary Redundancy process
(clause 58.5). The objective criteria that will be used to determine redundancy (Voluntary, and if
required, Involuntary) are as follows:

      1. In depth technical understanding and knowledge of Microsoft Enterprise Management and
         Apple Enterprise management systems and technology.
      2. Ability to build the high level managed operating environment in readiness for the handover
         point to other technical support teams for specific tailoring for individual users.
      3. Demonstrated analytical skills including troubleshooting in order to contribute scalable
         solutions for to assist in resolving complex problems.
      4. Strong testing skills to ensure accuracy and working order of technology build for use by
         thousands of end users.
      5. High standard interpersonal and customer service skills with demonstrated experience in
         communicating complex technology issues clearly and confidently at different levels within the
         organisation.

4.7       Discontinued positions and reduction of position pool
If a staff member’s employment with QUT terminates for any reason (e.g. resignation or dismissal) prior
to the redundancy date or within three (3) months of their redeployment date, they will not be entitled
to any redundancy payment or benefit.

A staff member who accepts, or is made redundant, will not be eligible for ongoing, fixed-term or
casual/sessional employment for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of separation. For further
information see the University’s policy (B/7.13 Re-engagement following redundancy or early
retirement).

6 Engaging, consulting and supporting staff
6.1   Engaging
The University’s aim is to engage with staff throughout the transformation process to unlock the value
for students and staff, and enhance the sustainability and performance of QUT’s operations. This will
be achieved through the sharing of information, encouraging consultation and feedback, and providing
opportunities for active participation throughout this process.

6.2   Supporting staff and building capability
As noted at section 2.2.1 above, the University will continue to support staff and provide opportunities
to build capability, to ensure successful transformation underpinned by the following REAL World
Capabilities.
    • Agility and openness to change
    • Future focused thinking
    • Leadership of strategy, action and others

HR’s programs that provide capability building, support, resources and information are available at
https://sharepoint.qut.edu.au/divisions/das/hrd/career/SitePages/Workshops.aspx.

As individual staff members respond to change in different ways, support is available through the
University’s free confidential counselling and support services provider, Assure Programs (1800 808
374). A dedicated Manager Hotline is also available.
