Senior Vice President, Pearson and Author, IPPR
“Competing in a global market”
Radical and urgent transformation is required in higher education as much as it is in school systems. However, perhaps as a result of complacency, caution or anxiety, or a combination of all three, the pace of change is too slow and the nature of change too incremental.

Director, N8 Research Partnership
“Rising to the efficiency challenge”
The Diamond Review identified potential wins in areas such as process improvement and simplification, shared services and outsourcing, IT, better use of collaborative procurement, and more effective use of benchmarking. There is strong evidence of universities increasing their effectiveness in these areas, reinvesting the savings in frontline student services and human capital.

John Lakin (confirmed)
Board Member, Procurement UK
“Improving procurement”
The higher education sector spends around £10bn per annum buying goods and services, but there is a lack of institutional understanding and engagement with the procurement process. A more joined-up approach has the potential to deliver considerable savings.

Dr Ghazwa Alwani-Starr (confirmed)
Director of Property and Facilities Management, Roehampton University and Chair - London Region, Association of University Directors of Estates
“Efficient and effective estates”
A university's estates spend is second only to expenditure on staffing. It is imperative therefore that directors have an appropriate strategy in place for the efficient and effective running of the estate. A successful strategy for estates and facilities should include improved procurement practices and effective management, monitoring and reporting tools.
