[Particle-physics-affiliated] [Particle-physics-baes] PPD Meeting, Thursday, August 27, 12:30 - Input for Division Goals

[Mark Hartz]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to clarify the request for PPD goals and objectives as best I can based on discussion at the DH+DP meeting.  What I heard is:

  *   The time pressure for these inputs appears to have been relaxed.  It is expected that PSD will prepare the goals and objectives over the next few weeks based on our inputs.  I would encourage everyone to submit a first draft as soon as possible so we can get feedback from Jens.  I expect that we will have a chance to discuss the near-final list at the next regularly scheduled department meeting.
  *   It is expected that these goals and objectives are used for the coaching aspect of the new PPR system.  Jens expects that they aren't used as a list of required accomplishments that should be checked off, but rather as starting points for discussion of progress during the coaching.
  *   We should try to make objectives that in some way have measurable results, ie one can clearly define when an objective has been met.

Please send the goals and objectives to me or add them directly to the spreadsheet at: [https://outlook-2.cdn.office.net/assets/mail/file-icon/png/xlsx_16x16.png] Goals_Objectives_2020.xlsx<https://triumfoffice365-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/reinerk_triumf_ca/Ee9oXPUg7cFFmQg_Own2gVEBGBwrtdSCiDd4X_MZsZsQcQ?e=0WUDkg&CID=26340058-169D-421D-8109-EBD82978DD98&wdLOR=c420C73CB-5890-47A2-A65B-C219AA90AA38>.  I would like to suggest that PPD goals and objectives be sent or entered by Friday morning (10 AM) of this week.

Best Regards,
Mark

Hi All,

Isabel pointed out that we may start from the goals and objectives from last fiscal year.  You can find a very close to final version of those at:

[https://r4.res.outlook.com/owa/prem/images/xlsx_16x16.png]PPDept_goals_objectives_risks_v3.xlsx<https://triumfoffice365-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/mhartz_triumf_ca/EWjXz5dsKcRIjUfxL2uC8skBOZu_mU2CXBjcrh29LNaADA?e=K5Ahvb>

Please take a look and consider how this may be updated for FY2020 before the meeting on Thursday.  I should also point out that the objectives can have due dates beyond the end of FY2020 if substantial work to achieve the objective is happening in FY2020.

Last year we listed our overall goal as:

Deliver high-impact results in Particle Physics with a focus on ATLAS, T2K, UCN, ALPHA, SuperCDMS

I propose that we keep this, but please comment if you think we should modify or add to the department goal(s).

Best Regards,
Mark

Hi All,

The Science Division has received a rather urgent request to provide inputs to a spreadsheet listing goals and objectives in FY2020.  You can find the template here:

[https://r4.res.outlook.com/owa/prem/images/xlsx_16x16.png]Goals_Objectives_2020.xlsx<https://triumfoffice365-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/reinerk_triumf_ca/Ee9oXPUg7cFFmQg_Own2gVEBGBwrtdSCiDd4X_MZsZsQcQ?e=0WUDkg&CID=26340058-169D-421D-8109-EBD82978DD98&wdLOR=c420C73CB-5890-47A2-A65B-C219AA90AA38>

The ACC sheet has goals and objectives of the Accelerator Division, which you can use as a guideline for what PPD inputs may look like.

Jens would like to discuss this at the DH+D meeting on Friday and make an initial draft, so we should have initial feedback by then.  Even though Oliver is away, I would like to propose that we have a PPD meeting this Thursday at 12:30 PDT to discuss the inputs to this spreadsheet.

Best Regards,
Mark
