I never wrote anything in the previous post about why the planning conference is important to our institute.
Here goes:
With a seat at the table, we gain input into the direction of the University as a whole. More importantly we gain insight into where the University is going, and if we, as a collective group, are agile enough, we can align our own goals (short term and longer haul) so that they coincide with the movement of the whole.
I’d be happy to discuss further with anyone who want to visit my office.
