Multi-Disciplinary Action Learning Sets for Deputy Directors or Heads of Research/equivalent

Following the success of the new multi-disciplinary Action Learning Sets offered by BUFDG, ARMA and other professional associations, we are delighted to be opening up this scheme for new delegates this year.  Action Learning Sets are a powerful development experience for senior leaders. They bring people together to exchange, support and challenge each other in action and learning. BUFDG and ARMA are partnering with AUDE, CHEIA,  HESPA, SCONUL, UCISA and UHR,  to offer Action Learning Sets to senior leaders in HE professional services.

What are the benefits?

• Input from other senior leaders across a variety of roles and disciplines who will challenge your thinking and offer a fresh perspective
• Development of your active listening and questioning skills
• Exposure to a variety of new and different challenges in other institutions
• Consolidation of learning over a medium to long term period, rather than a one-off experience
• Development of a trusted network of peers who normally continue to share thinking long after the formal ‘end’ of the action set series

Target Audience 

• Deputy directors
• Heads of Department level or equivalent
