2006 Best Practice Showcase

Speaking on the hottest delegate-chosen topic, Dr Christopher Worsley, CEO of CITI Group, presents a seminar on the challenge of cultural change.

He is joined by Toni Frascina, Business Improvement Manager at Sheffield Hallam University. A commonly held view of universities is one of ivory towers separated from the ‘real world’ of business.

With changes made by governments over the last two decades this view could not be more wrong. Many universities accept that they exist within a competitive environment, where the future will be as uncertain for them as for any other organisation.

Sheffield Hallam University is one university embracing the opportunity to determine its own successful future. Over the last two years, the Vice-Chancellor Diana Green has been championing a major change initiative to make Sheffield Hallam stand out from the rest. In this session Toni and Christopher discuss cultural change and the challenges the University has overcome to deliver the Vice-Chancellor’s vision.
