Leadership Development & Management Training - Introduction

Background

One of the four central objectives of AIMS was "to assess the skills needed for managing the overall institution and its component parts, to upgrade the quality of systems and services, and to implement the requisite training programmes". This objective was addressed in a number of ways by the AIMS project - e.g. the Organisational Design & Governance stream developed a framework of senior leadership accountabilities and responsibilities, Functional Strategic Overview streams included an assessment of required skills for senior positions, and the Human Resources/Employee Relations stream developed a competency-based selection process for application in the University.

Two dedicated AIMS initiatives also addressed the objectives of leadership development and management training, namely:

• The Junior & Middle Management Training programme, aimed at junior- and middle-level administrative and support staff; and
• The Leadership & Management Development Project, aimed at developing heads of academic departments and senior support staff (payclass 13 and above); this was an AIMS initiative located in the Vice-Chancellor's Office.
