Editor's Notes
- #2 SHEIN is a recently formed collaboration for individuals fro Scottish Universities who have the task of introducing improvement (mainly through LEAN, Six Sigma methodologies ) Members are Facilitators/ Practitioner / Managers of Change Programmes (not technology experts – which is so often the case) Drawn to each other because of the need to talk about the extent of the challenge (and those challenges particular to HE) – to listen and replicate different approaches – Share tools and techniques – Principles were set down in Terms of Reference in a nutshell they say: Keep it simple and focusedKeep it time limited Try to find some tangible benefits
- #3 In getting to know one another we found many differences as well as a great many things in common. The main differences were the level of commitment/ buy-in and fit within each institution Ranging from 1 person being asked to take this on as a part of their substantive job to a dedicated team which has been sustained for almost 10 years. The commonality was in the passion for improving their respective institutions – The frustration about the barrier which prevent the scale of the change each one of us knows might be possible
- #4 The knowledge that if you work with those close to the delivery of the multitude of business processes / if you give those groups – the opportunity / some fresh thinking and respect they can turn this
- #5 Into this – time and time again
- #6 Indicative of the lack of connection to the top of the organisation Some members were unaware of the existence of the task force Had not had conversations with its representativesDidn’t have a sense of the National Agenda on efficiencies (The Diamond Report) The mention in Task Force update was gratifying but no-one in the knew how this had come about
- #7 Plenty of collaborations on improvement activities USET might set and develop training standards/competence framework for Change Practitioners for a University (a model which could be used here and further afield) USET could identify the best model and fit for an improvement team in HE (a model which could be used here and further afield) We might ensure through collaboration that we can dispense with the need for external suppliers for LEAN training etc. We might ensure that we set measures for success for improvement teams
