Some key questions for your university? Is performance something that lives and breathes
in your HEI? Is it clearly focused & relevant to all?
Do you nourish your staff with information on future policy/issues? Are they becoming hungry for more and leading the chase?
Does performance have +/- consequences?
Do your staff have the tools to succeed: data, professional services, structures?
Is there a virtuous circle of “plan, do, review”, driven by data & intelligence?
