Project Golden Path

Presenter: Don Padgett, Notre Dame

Project Golden Path is a systemic initiative focused on developing and retaining qualified staff by:

  1. Creating clear career paths.
    Currently, technical staff seeking advancement are "pushed" toward becoming managers since there are no clear paths for technical advancement. A primary deliverable is to recognize and reward the development of technical skills necessary for job success. A second deliverable is to demonstrate lateral career paths for those who want a breadth of organizational experience.

  2. Developing commonality and consistency across OIT jobs and job families.
    The OIT inherited various approaches to personnel from prior organizational mergings. The approaches manifest themselves in differences in titles and professional development opportunities. Another Golden Path deliverable is the creation of consistent position descriptions across the organization, providing a more systematic way to support both professional development and performance review.

Qualification Matrix

A qualification matrix was developed to assist in identifying the requirements for the different job families at each career tier. A "Job Family" is a grouping of jobs based on common skill sets, competencies, and responsibilities that may span a number of levels within the organization.

  • Infrastructure Engineering / Administration
  • Application Development / Integration
  • Content Development / Integration
  • Customer Services/Consultants
  • Organization Services
  • Management
