OneFinance highlights from Steve Murphy
January 31, 2024
Happy New Year!
At the start of this new year, I would like to share some exciting highlights with you. But first things first: here’s to a fantastic 2024, and thank you all for your achievements in the first half of FY24! It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year since I wrote to you in the January 2023 General Ledger about the launch of our OneFinance multi-year initiative, as announced by Jack Callahan in FY23. Since then, we’ve made significant headway toward our North Star and vision of simplifying and standardizing financial management. View our key deliverables and progress thus far.
While this is just a snapshot of some of the great work being done, there are many ways you can stay informed on what is happening in the OneFinance program. Please read the monthly At-A-Glance updates if you’d like to learn more. The OneFinance team will also share a retrospective view of their accomplishments in an upcoming Quarterly Program Update in mid-February. Additionally, I encourage you to look for and read the weekly Business Update newsletter for timely updates on the scope of the work and our progress toward the North Star.
On a separate topic, a quick reminder. By the time you read this, you should have had your mid-year check-in, during which you and your manager should discuss where you are against your goals and professional development this year and, where necessary, adjust accordingly to ensure a successful second half of the fiscal year. By all accounts, we are off to a great start and are well-positioned for a successful next half of FY24.
Thank you again for your support, time, dedication, and positive impact on the university. I am excited to see how we advance Yale’s mission as a team again this year.
