Overcoming Barriers

• In-house development vs Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) product?

• What’s our budget? • What staff has time to work on this?

• How do we pull this off?• When do we want to start?

Director’s Perspective: Roads Less Traveled

• In rural Kansas, travel

distances can be long to

make in-person classes.

This takes time, and money

to send people to classes in

person.

Director’s Perspective: Multiple Hats

• Many employees have more than 1 job

someone else in addition to supervisor
