Strategic Review Presentation Strategic Review July 2009

Strategic Review 2009 Asked to  Provide a strategic framework appropriate for the challenges we face now and into the future;  Create a set of principles and values that provide the basis of a strategic and operational priorities plan and a new governance and management framework;  Conduct an internal review to allow all members of the Faculty to understand the collective challenges, and have the opportunity to contribute to the future direction;

Strategic Review Review was conducted around five strategic review areas, each led by two co-chairs; -The co-chairs were selected for their experience and their capacity for openness and judgement; Strategic Review AreaCo-chairs ResearchWinthrop Professor Cheryl Praeger Winthrop Professor Mark Randolph EducationWinthrop Professor James Trevelyan Professor Gordon Royle Industry and Community Partnerships, Foundations and Alumni Winthrop Professor Mark Cassidy Mr Tim Shanahan Physical, Information, Communication and Computing Infrastructure Winthrop Professor David Sampson Professor Mark Reynolds Governance and ManagementWinthrop Professor Greg Ivey Associate Professor Nick Spadaccini

Faculty Involvement Over six months, the co-chairs have led an open discussion across the Faculty:  Over 60 workshops, focus groups, working party meetings;  30 Submissions by members of the Faculty;  Over 1,000 hits on the Strategic Review website;  Over 1,000 hours spent by the co-chairs on the review; and  Thousands of hours contributed by staff from across the Faculty;

Strategic Review Area Papers The co-chairs of each of the Strategic Review areas have produced a number of documents across recent months  Each has identified the challenges we face, and provided us with options, principles and recommendations to guide the Faculty into the future;  Over 300 pages of documentation has been generated by the Strategic Review 2009;

Thanks and Acknowledgement  All members of the Faculty for engaging in this important process, and providing their feedback, ideas and concerns;  The review volunteers, of which there are many, who participated and assisted the review;  The numerous staff who assisted in the collection and collation of large amounts of information;  The co-chairs for their hard work and dedication, and their commitment to making the Faculty the best it can possibly be;

Strategic Review Paper The purpose of today’s presentation, and the consultation over the next month, is to consider the proposed strategic principles and governance and management framework This incorporates contributions from each of the co-chairs across all of the Strategic Review areas, and presents a high level strategy to guide the Faculty into the future

Strategic Review Paper This paper outlines proposed strategic principles and a governance and management framework for the Faculty; Developed through:  consultation with the Faculty through the Governance and Management Workshop, interviews and submissions;  investigation of other faculty models at UWA and in other universities in Australia and internationally;  consideration of issues, options and recommendations identified in each of the other strategic review papers; and  discussion amongst the co-chairs,  feedback from the Heads of School and the ECM Summit

Focus of the Paper  Focus is on strategic principles and a governance and management framework;  The paper does not provide an implementation plan or many of the details required to implement;  The proposal is designed to guide the Faculty into the future;

Strategic Principles  A number of strategic principles were extracted from the other review papers which represent the strategic concepts that underpin the Faculty as it moves into the future;  These principles were developed by the co-chairs, and reflect the issues, options and recommendations identified in each of the review area papers;  These principles, as well as the recommendations and options from each of the review areas, will guide the Faculty in its future direction;

Governance and Management Framework Background  Current schools based model is one with a focus on education;  During the course of the Review, only one other model was suggested, based on research centres;  These can be seen as two extremes of the spectrum, and the proposed model is a balance between them, designed to provide equal focus to research and education;  This delivers on the strengths of both models, and enables the Faculty to succeed in both of its core business’

Governance and Management Framework - Diagrams The following three diagrams, as well as the appendix to the paper, describe the proposed governance and management framework for the Faculty. They are split to show different aspects of the same model, and must be considered altogether to provide a complete picture  Fig 2 – Governance and Decision Making Structure Describes the committees and flow of decisions  Fig 1 – Management Structure Describes the reporting relationships of staff  Fig 3 – Overall Funding Model Describes the broad flow of funding in the Faculty

Fig 2 - Governance and Decision Making Structure

Disciplines and Research Themes  Disciplines are core areas of teaching expertise  Includes discipline groups and individuals  Research Themes are broad strategic areas of focus for research (e.g. Energy, environment and sustainable development)  Includes Centres, research groups and individuals  The co-chairs have not indicated the number of Research Themes or Disciplines, or what they should be – this is to be determined by the Faculty  In making that decision, the Faculty will need to consider the numbers and the content in the context of the overall model, including to ensure that the committee structure is effective

Fig 2 Key Features  Retention of strong, vibrant Discipline Areas;  Creation of high level multi-disciplinary Research Themes based on existing and emerging strengths;  Education and Research committees with: o academic decision making power (delegated from Faculty Board); and o budgetary responsibility (delegated from the Dean);  A Development Board comprised of high level industry, community and alumni members providing strategic advice on external relations to the Faculty;

Fig 2 Key Features – continued It is anticipated that the Education and Research committees and the Development Board will create subcommittees as required. The paper recommends that a graduate research subcommittee be created.

Fig 1 – Proposed Strategic Management Structure

Fig 1 - Key Features  All Heads of Discipline and Research Theme Leaders report to the Dean;  Academic staff will report either to a Head of Discipline or a Research Theme Leader;  Associate Dean roles created in Education, Research and External Relations, with strategic and executive responsibilities  All Associate Deans report to the Dean and be members of the Planning and Resources Committee;  Associate Deans Education and Research chair the Education and Research Committees;

Fig 1 - Key Features Academic staff will be appointed to the Faculty and most will be affiliated to both a Discipline and a Research Theme, ensuring a research-teaching nexus; There will be opportunities for academic staff to be affiliated with more than one Discipline or Research Theme; Activity across Disciplines and Research Themes will be determined in light of our teaching commitments and research priorities; Individual academic staff will continue to have academic freedom to explore new teaching and research areas;

Fig 1 - Key Features  Professional staff are essential to the Faculty’s functioning;  Professional staff will be employed by the Faculty and will be managed and deployed centrally or locally as appropriate;  Professional Staff will be organised based on the functional tasks they undertake in their roles  The details of a professional staff structure will be determined following further consultation, to provide effective and efficient support to the Faculty and provide a career structure;

Fig 3 – Overall Funding Model
