Leading and Managing Strategic Change and Operations - CHEAD Leadership Development

The CHEAD Leadership Development programme has been running since 2010 and is designed by the Art and Design sector for the Art and Design sector. The events form a programme of activities to be accessed individually or as a set over a 1 – 2 year period. The programme is informed by current leaders’ experiences, experienced colleagues from related fields and recent case studies. The programme is open to all with an interest and involvement in leadership and management roles at any level.

Leaders of event are:

• Professor Mark Hunt, Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University for the Creative Arts
• Gill Sandford, Dean of the Faculty of Creative Industries, University of South Wales
• Judy Glasman, Dean of School of Creative Arts, University of Hertfordshire

The seminar will be facilitated by Dr Bryony Conway, former Dean at the University of Wolverhampton on behalf of CHEAD.

This development event aims to review key aspects of strategic leadership and related management issues in periods of transition in setting up reorganised/merged organisations, or reorganised/merged parts of organisations. It is informed both by mergers of separate HEIs as well as internal restructuring which so many organisations have been going through or are starting to embark upon. General principles as well as case studies will be included and there will be opportunities to bring the current issues of participants for peer discussion during the day. This is an important event in supporting the leadership within the Art and Design sector.

Participants will be invited to indicate areas of interest and possible questions for discussion prior to the event. The event is suitable for all levels of leadership and managers e.g. team leaders, Associate Deans and other management roles.

The event will include a site tour to see how the School works, including an insight into the externally-facing UH Arts organisation.

This is a draft programme. The full and confirmed event programme is to be published prior to the event.
