Beate Schmittmann and Sarah Nusser are leading Iowa State University’s Improved Service Delivery (ISD) initiative as co-chairs of the Institutional Effectiveness Leadership Team (IELT). After working for the past eight months with the IELT, other campus leaders, and consultants, Beate and Sarah presented proposed models on Oct. 2, 2018, to the President’s Council, for Human Resources and selected Finance services.
