Name C 2-1 Planning a Change Process
Author Jon Baldwin
Description Managing change in higher education seems to be a constant requirement for university leaders and senior administrators: early into the 21st century we are seeing policy change, economic change, political change… equally significantly, and sometimes as a direct result of the potential impact of these factors, is internal change, to University strategy, priorities, structure and organisation. All of this impacts on how universities approach their core business of pursuing academic excellence. As university leaders and managers, we must translate the change required, whether it feels like vision or threat, into clear application for our staff. This takes planning, vision and perseverance, a thirst for innovation and new ways of thinking, the ability to support and motivate. We have to make a convincing business case for change and help others to identify how they will achieve the goal. This article will explore the context for change in higher education and the cultural and organisa-tional framework needed to facilitate change, drawing on change models and theories and practical examples from the University of Warwick.
