Priority 5 - Organisational Efficiency
Through our People and Culture Plan we will enable greater efficiency across the university by embedding a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement; driven by purpose and values-led leadership. Organisational efficiency is not just about process improvement, it is about creating the conditions for our people to thrive and contribute meaningfully to the university's mission. As the world of work transforms through digital innovation, artificial intelligence, and evolving models of collaboration, our approach must be strategic and adaptive. We will support the strengthening of our organisational agility by fostering a workforce culture that is digitally ready, future-focused, and empowered to deliver high performance with clarity and purpose.
Our People and Culture team will play a pivotal role in driving this shift—supporting leaders, managers, and teams in rethinking how they work, how they lead, and how they make decisions.
This includes building leadership capability, cultivating a mindset of evidence-based decision-making, and reinforcing our institutional values in every aspect of how we operate.
