1. Professional Services Group Reform Programme GOVERNANCE
We have changed the governance arrangements around PSG to support and enable a more agile and responsive approach to operational issues:
The termly Administrative and Professional Services Group (APSG) has been replaced with a Professional Services Steering Committee (PSSC) that will meet twice yearly
PSSC will provide oversight of, and assurance on, the delivery of Professional Services strategic priorities (aligned to University strategy and the UEB work plan).
PSSC reports to the University Executive Board (UEB) and the Financial Planning Sub-Committee (FPSC).
Professional Services Group (PSG) is an operational forum for active monitoring of the delivery of professional services priorities and for more agile consideration of thematic issues, risks, and opportunities across the professional services. It will meet monthly, the membership being the lead Directors for Professional Services, plus further attendees as the agenda requires.
GRID meetings are the Registrar’s regular meetings with her senior teams to ensure delivery.
