== Strategy #2: Boost Interdepartmental Communication Between Faculty ==
=== Require tenured faculty to take one class per academic year (not including sabbatical years) outside of their discipline/ department<br/> === === <ul style="font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal;">
<li>The marketing research program in the business school at UW-Madison will research campus classes for professors with linkages to their area of interest outside of their discipline</li>
<li>A list of classes will be provided to the academic school, and college program heads responsible for the 20 academic centers around campus</li>
<li>Professors will be required to explore at least four different departments before exploring a class in a department they've previously interacted with as a part of this requirement.</li>
</ul>

=== Create a buddy system between departments<br/> ===
*Ask departments to volunteer to become program-to-program buddies
*Require departments to list key resources and whether they are abundant, sufficient or scarce in nature
*Match programs to be buddies by balancing resources where this is an abundance in one department and scarcity in the other.
== Start a club for Professors<br/> ==
*Create affinity clubs for professors on campus related to entrepreneurship and innovation
*Promote new professorial club through department heads and by presenting them to academic deans across campus.
