7 Independent Assessment of Research (REF 2014) 69% of the research we submitted to REF 2014 was judged as either 3* (Internationally Excellent) or 4* (Internationally Leading). –For “Earth Systems and Environmental Science”, the figure was 80%! –Rise of 33 places in the UK to finish clearly in the top half of the quality league table. –9 th place in Scotland in terms of research quality –87% of “impact” judged 3* or 4*. The message is clear: not only is our research excellent, it is having a major impact on lives and livelihoods!

21 The Challenges: 1 External Environment Financial pressures, new economy, changing roles The need to be flexible and respond rapidly Responding to government priorities on innovation Competition from other providers 5 larger colleges now public bodies so cannot hold reserves Inefficiencies in the organisation The challenge of geography 75+ learning centres Duplication across the organisation Tackling inefficiencies via shared services – the problems

22 The Challenges: 2 Complex government structure Partnership governed by 14 separate boards, totalling approximately 200 people Generates over 400 committee meetings and approximately 5,000 committee papers per annum Management by consensus Current governance structure meant to be a transition phase Local v’s Regional strategy
