Talent Management – Doing Things Differently
Deborah Green, CEO, UCISA and Amanda Whicher and Harry Gooding, Hays

At Conference last year we debated the challenge that all institutions were facing in both recruiting and retaining IT talent. We heard the initial findings of a substantial survey carried put for UCISA by Hays and went on to see the final outcomes at our AGM in June last year. We all agreed that we need to do things differently if we are to successfully meet the challenge and recruit the workforce of tomorrow.

Working with Hays and UHR, the UCISA Academy, in association with Hays, which we will launch at UCISA24 is one of the ways that we aim to support you in taking positive action.

Why universities are increasingly seeing curriculum management as the foundation of agility, transformation and long-term success
Professor Alison Honour, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Canterbury Christ Church University

With a university’s curriculum being one of its most valuable assets, it can come as little surprise that the Higher Education Reference Model (HERM) has curriculum management up front and centre as a core capability and at the heart of its data reference model. This session, led by Professor Alison Honour, Deputy Vice-Chancellor at Canterbury Christ Church University, will reference real-world examples to explore how innovative curriculum management approaches and solutions form the foundations of Higher Ed success – enabling universities to undertake meaningful change, deliver real benefit, support long-term agility and income diversification from a high-quality product.
