LFHE support to disseminate out Participative Process Reviews for the sector by Ian Whiting · December 24, 2014 We are pleased to announce that OCSLD has recently been awarded a grant from the Leadership Foundation in Higher Education (LFHE) to help disseminate an innovative team-based format for small localised process reviews, drawing on existing good practice. We have conducted a range of pilots with teams from academic and professional support services tackling issues such as summer school accommodation bookings, development of new online courses, reading lists, and shared housing damages recovery process. Early results are encouraging with indications that there have been significant efficiency savings, as well as improvements in team working and staff morale. One of the key aims of the workshop is to equip staff teams with the knowledge and skills to conduct further process reviews on their own. In co-operation with the LFHEs Innovation and Transformation Fund we aim to create a workshop pack for the staff development community by releasing this through a creative common licence. http://www.lfhe.ac.uk/en/research-resources/itf-projects/itf-2014po.cfm To enable us to achieve this aim we will be looking for three HE partners to trial two workshops at their institution. This will involve a facilitator and researcher coming to an institution to deliver the 1 day workshop to a team who have a need to review a particular process. As we will be reviewing and evaluating the effectiveness PPRs for the Leadership Foundation we will require the teams to assit in our subsequent project evaluation report. Details about our workshop can be found on our new edition website Participative process reviews. Costs associated with this initiative will be limited to covering the facilitator and researchers travel and subsistence expenses together with any normal catering arrangements for your own course delegates. If you are interested in participating with us, please in the first instance contact Ian Whiting for more details and logistics feasibility.
