The first phase of Operational Excellence is a fact-finding and assessment exercise that includes interviews and briefings with nearly 400 individuals, data gathering and analysis to document our current financial environment, and the preliminary development of options for achieving both financial sustainability and a new level of organizational performance. UCB Chancellor Robert Birgeneau and Vice Chancellor Frank Yeary present an interim report of the progress to date. berkeley.edu
