In support of our overall strategic plan, Integrated Procure-to-Pay Solutions (IPPS) has implemented several key initiatives. Each key initiative is spearheaded by an IPPS team comprised of staff members from across all IPPS units. Team members selected which initiative(s) to join based on their own interests and career goals rather than their current role within IPPS. Structuring the initiatives in this way upholds our department's integrated model and empowers teams throughout IPPS to explore and develop cross-functional talents in a supportive, collaborative environment that inspires innovative solutions.
