San José State University (SJSU) is embarking on an implementation phase related to shared services migration across various administrative functions, including position management, recruitment, and onboarding. Previous diagnostic work provided valuable system-level insights and planning support. However, to ensure successful implementation and the creation of a beneficial Model of Practice Guide for other California State University (CSU) campuses, dedicated resources are needed to support SJSU’s project team in mapping current organizational processes, identifying operational pain points, and co-creating people-centered and sustainable solutions. SJSU seeks to partner with a small yet highly effective group of individuals or a firm capable of delivering significant impact within available resources. The selected contractor(s) will work collaboratively alongside an established project sponsor team and workgroups, who will provide guidance and administrative support for the duration of the engagement. This effort will not only accelerate SJSU’s implementation timeline but also produce scalable materials and a transferable model to support adoption of best practices in shared services transition in the California State University system.
