Consequence of Error/Judgement

The primary focus of this unit is to provide high-quality digital assets for educational and communication projects. This position makes decisions regarding the development of media resources and technologies.

Errors in judgment, poor planning, or failure to act decisively could have a detrimental effect on the delivery and consumption of digital media resources by clients. Unreliable systems or poor project management could lead to missed contractual obligations for performance and availability which would damage the reputation of UBC and UBC-IT. This could adversely impact the University community, including the stakeholders involved, which would result in possible lost productivity, funding, and revenue.
