Extreme Makeover: Organizational Changes

The success of the new travel business model will depend on a number of things including having the right organizational structure in place. The first step has been taken. Anil Moré, OCFO Operations Manager, is now responsible for the Lab’s travel unit. Additional changes that have been made include the following:

• The accounting function of Travel, the vouchering, will now report to Disbursements (Accounts Payable)
• The operational aspects of Travel, i.e. conference planning, foreign travel, policy, relocations and agency relationships, will now report to Anil Moré, Operations Manager
• Jill Stark has accepted the position of Senior Conference Planner, replacing Joy Kono who has moved on to a new job at the ALS

Under Anil’s direction, we will be reviewing the entire travel organization, including systems, to see how we can streamline processes and procedures to achieve efficiencies and eliminate redundancies.
