Guiding Principles for the SEAMS Project

Seamless Administrative Services for a better Carleton experience

  1. We will use Workday functionality whenever reasonable, relying on configuration rather than customization.
  2. We will focus on the institutional value of the function being delivered over individual preferences for the form of delivery. 
  3. We are open to changes that help us create contemporary and sustainable approaches using widely accepted best practices.  
  4. We will make thoughtful, deliberate and timely decisions and will not dwell on minor points. 
  5. We will invest effort in configuring our tools to accommodate all types of diversity as much as possible. 
  6. We will strive for excellence, not perfection.
  7. We will communicate clearly and often.
