With C&C Initiative, staff teams focus on synergy, member needs

Four staff task force teams will be working to establish new goals and operating structures in the Services area of the new ASME model created through the Continuity and Change Initiative.

Three of those staff teams — Marketing and Sales, Enterprise Support, and Events Management — began operating in May. The fourth — Communications and Publishing — began meeting last month.

The members of each staff team will look for ways to consolidate common services as a means of providing higher quality services to members, customers and units of the Society more efficiently.

In the past, with ASME's five-council model, many opportunities for synergy among functions and deliverables had been overlooked, said John Corcoran, managing director of Member Services who is working with the four staff teams as the liaison to the Executive Management Committee and the Project Management Task Force.

The challenge for members of the four staff task forces will be to focus on what members, customers and units need and not to just rearrange the current service functions, Corcoran said.
