I'm offering
I love learning, and finding shortcuts to doing things better, which is why I am a fan of benchmarking. I have reviewed a lot of university processes and services - most recently admissions for a Medical School. I am a very experienced reviewer of timetabling and run a community of practice which is still going strong seventeen years after the first meeting. I have also recently developed a new approach to post graduate portfolio review using the open source Business Canvas Model. I love fusion in my management techniques just as much as in cooking and dance!
