Dialogue/listening is essential if staff are to 'own' this process - there is enough poor morale and cynicism already.

The models outlined are administratively top heavy. Added infrastructure is expensive and it is in the interests of the university to prioritise and seek a streamlined model which reduces unnecessary infrastructure.

]]> Thu, 25 Mar 2010 02:43:30 UTC 7224278 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/7224068?utm_medium=rss The Green Paper contains some promising language about an "informed and entrepreneurial culture". But this seems flatly at odds with some of the institutional architecture it envisages, which risks entrenching the present quasi-feudal system of patronage. The document is, from our point of view, dangerously silent on the future of Centres in the governance structure. If senior management really are committed to cultural change, now is the time to show it.
