The session will consider pros and cons to this approach and issues of scale, structure, reporting lines and professional development. Issues of power dynamics and how reporting lines support compliance will also be addressed. Finally the session will consider when or if institutions should consider a centralized model and various practical solutions for implementation.
After the session, those interested in participating can join us to find a post session beverage or snack of their choice or just peel off and enjoy Assembly Row.
