Value of the Virtual HubA Virtual Hub will never replace valuable person to
person interaction.
But it CAN enhance the work we’re already doing.

Survey Results: Comments
Up-to-date, quick, interactive and knowing what colleagues are doing.
“Anything that would increase collaboration between different units, from
co-events to sharing best practices and mentoring opportunities within
Advancement.”
![Page 17: The UW Virtual Hub: Bringing Advancement Together through Increased Communication](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163ab550346895dd4bd52/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Different levels, different needs
![Page 18: The UW Virtual Hub: Bringing Advancement Together through Increased Communication](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163ab550346895dd4bd52/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
How We ALL BenefitAdministrative Assistant: Providing a
directory/org chart, calendar, unit updates, discussion forum, FAQ, templates/toolkits, professional development opportunities.
Frontline Fundraiser: Sharing best practices for reaching donors, examples of correspondence, discussion forum, stories, current news, speaking points, legislative updates.
Executive Leadership: Brief daily Advancement updates, benefitting from strengthened, more supported, collaborative colleagues.

Illustrating the Need“Because Regional Giving represents all units across campus, it would be helpful to have up-to-date news/info to share with alumni by unit, by recent date with ‘importance’ highlighted.”
“I would like to know the schedule of our Regional Giving folks. Our program has major
supporters outside the Seattle area and it would be good to know when there are events and/or
trips by Advancement staff in the donors’ areas.”
![Page 20: The UW Virtual Hub: Bringing Advancement Together through Increased Communication](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163ab550346895dd4bd52/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
But is there time?“Frankly, I’m way too busy to be on intranet sites. It sounds like a nice thing to have but not critical to my work. I’d rather you guys concentrate your time on coming up with ways we could interact with each other, which means not on the web, but in person. Enhancing SHOP Talk with breakout sessions and discussions on best practices, challenges, etc. I would find interacting with my colleagues across campus more meaningful and feel that is what is lacking right now.”
![Page 21: The UW Virtual Hub: Bringing Advancement Together through Increased Communication](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062812/568163ab550346895dd4bd52/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Virtual Hub“Changing information and a constant need to keep current, particularly with upcoming Advancement events that key donors might attend, or quick summary of unit specific information that is now only attainable via several clicks of a unit specific website.… a website that puts Advancement info front and center would be helpful.”
“It could serve as a central aggregating hub for all other sites.”

Wrapping it Up….“We’ve all heard of the ‘glass ceiling’…. let us consider replacing it with “glass walls,” a professional atmosphere where we see all the cards on the table, where employees flourish because they are active participants in the mission of the business and have an equal voice in realizing this mission.” (Career Advancement Corporation blog, May 19, 2010)
The Virtual Hub is intended to advance this ideal of increased communication across University
Advancement, and will be the starting point for a more highly collaborative and productive workplace.
