3. Ambition in Action State of Play Investment Funding

4. Ambition in Action State of Play National TAFE SA established as a Statutory Authority. Funding model migrating. Rent on premises, course offerings reviewed. Victoria – what do you say?! Huge changes with a big impact on TAFE provision. TAFE loadings have discontinued. Merger of Canberra Institute of Technology and Canberra University on hold?? Holmesglen and Metropolitan South Institute - alliance to offer two degrees. Victoria University to commence a “bold and exciting” restructure including integrating vocational and higher education faculties, removal of low demand courses and partners sought for offshore student enrolments.

5. Ambition in Action State of Play NSW Philosophy to offer essential services or value adding services. Otherwise, encourage market forces to determine equilibrium ie contestability, entitlements, user choice. Economics 101 - Fiscal reality of sluggish national economy resulting in GST $5.4 billion black hole. State facing downgrading of its AAA rating (cost extra $2 billion pa). NSW’s AAA will be maintained. Expenditure substantially reduced. Timing – Budget 12 June. Impact?

6. Ambition in Action State of Play Sydney Institute Paradigm has changed, not is changing. We cannot respond to changes the way we have historically. Failure to embrace will result in commercial and functional failure. Need to be Faster, Harder, Smarter Faster urgency is needed (customer comes first) to product development (SI is behind) Streamlining of internal policy and procedures Harder need to consider every aspect of operation (client centric approach) From first point of contact, to the learning experience, to completion and beyond. Examples of excellence - individual and sectoral and at all employment levels. Cultural renewal and shift

7. Ambition in Action State of Play Smarter India 20 years ago - only the lucky few had TVs, now 950 million have mobiles, 150 million use the internet. Users are demanding connectivity. New products and initiatives, including new channels and delivery cycles. We need to “own” this space. SEEK already has lead but is not unassailable. Mobile and Online marketing and purchasing –failure to embrace results in decline of icon brands (retail sector is an example). SI is an icon. Branding uniformity across all materials – marketing, teaching materials etc. Not an option. Brand audit currently being undertaken. SI should have its own FUTURE fund. Philosophy of $1 must equal $1.20 TAFE Radio Student accommodation Product development Business development
