• Universities seem to be in the horns of a dilemma
  when it comes to institutional change, hovering
  between top down and bottom up approaches. That
  top down change is invariably resisted and bottom
  up approaches are slow and partial highlights the
  importance of a forthright and listening
  leadership where strategic and institutional
  change is less planned from above and more
  crafted in action and learning throughout the
  organisation around the development of shared
  sense of institutional direction (Dearlove,1997)

• Mechanisms Used By Project to Foster A Shared
  Sense of Direction and Listening Leadership
• Consultation with all stakeholders at Head of
  Department/School level and those they
  identified.
• Development and communication via a project
  website.
• Institution wide consultation with all
  stakeholders via a online survey and focus
  groups.
• Development at all levels of the project of cross
  functional teams.
• Content of portal to be determined by users
• Focus on Integration of systems.
