JISC

I lead JISC’s Business and Community Engagement (BCE) strategy and programme of work, which is designed to support institutions’ strategic management of partnerships, interactions and transactions with partners, clients and intermediaries external to the institution, through enhanced systems and processes.

Institutions’ external partners encompass the private and public sectors, the third sector and the wider community. BCE combines knowledge transfer and exchange with employer engagement, the latter supported jointly with e-Learning. Through this cross-cutting work, JISC helps develop synergies and efficiencies between institutions’ strategies, systems and processes to enhance their ability to manage and deliver these activities - and the related services – in an innovative and sustainable way.

My background is in HE policy (HEFCE), international management consultancy, business/IT process improvement and language teaching.
