Details of the main activities and results achieved at Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna from 2010 to 2015

 Identification of a structured organization simplification program integrated with different tools aimed at the different management areas (large processes transversal to several organizational areas, lighter processes / practices identifiable within a single organizational area and which often constitute the " sand in the gears ", the customer satisfaction already seen above, mobility of people in the context of the single administration concept). University structures (Departments and Schools)  Introduction of an administrative management organization within the departments in the logic of full integration with the general administration, safeguarding a general principle of autonomy of the structures

 Organization of periodic meetings, at least monthly, with the administrative managerial managers of the departments and schools for greater support and sharing of the problems to be solved

The activity was accompanied by periodic information managed personally and addressed to all the personnel involved (over 500 personnel). Furthermore, the assignment of personnel to the structures was preceded by a complete survey of all the professionals involved through self-certification and evaluation systems, jointly with all the managers. The organizational structures were compared with the managers of the various activities (management coordinators, school presidents, department directors) before finding operational application. The new structure was subsequently guided also with the help of a permanent transversal group managed in person and monthly meetings with sector operators. The adjustment activity following the reorganization involved the better definition of the new roles, the reshaping of some processes, the streamlining of procedures.
