This is the blog for the project Embedding BCE Through Business Process Improvement and Internal Engagement. “Embedding BCE” for short, as the acronym doesn’t even bear thinking about…!
The project is one of four projects being run by the JISC Advisory Services and managed by the BCE Team drawn up from members of the Advisory Services.
Project Manager is John Burke, Senior Adviser with JISC infoNet.
Project Consultant is Clive Alderson of Clive Alderson Associates, who has a long-standing relationship with JISC infoNet both in creating materials and delivery of workshops.
Project partners are:
- University of Glamorgan
- Keele University
- Newcastle University
- Shrewsbury College of Arts & Technolgy
- University of Strathclyde
During December 2008 to April 2009 project staff will undertake a number of interviews with staff at the partner institutions to examine how well BCE work is embedded within the core business systems of the institution. This will include Finance, HR, Libraries, IT and Information Systems as well as other support and delivery functions.
The project will identify examples of good practice and common barriers and issues faced by institutions engaging with the Business and Community Sectors.
From May to October 2009 the project will create materials for publication on the JISC infoNet website, to inform the FE and HE sector and to aid and inform those institutions who want to improve their own processes and increase their level of BCE work.
