CHANGE MANAGEMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION: AN EMPIRICAL APPROACH Stephen Brown It is
particularly difficult to change universities. The JISC Curriculum
Design and Delivery programme was designed to enable UK universities
to employ technology to deliver major, sustainable change. Emergent
findings cover themes of interconnectedness, feral systems, project
drift, resistance, planning imperative, staff turnover and
dependency failures. Collaborative approaches to project management
were employed to achieve effective large-scale rather than either
management-driven top-down, or more champion-led bottom-up methods.
While some diminution of control over project outcomes is inherent
in this approach, this is outweighed by the potential benefits of
lasting and widespread adoption of agreed changes. |
