Kia ora koutou,
The next staff forum will be a little different as it will be focused on our strategy, vision, mission and values. The session will be repeated twice, Tuesday 4 Aug 10.30am in PJH 210, and Thursday 6 Aug 2pm in Poutama. I would like to encourage everyone to come to one of the sessions. Please indicate you are coming by accepting one session and declining the other.
We will work together on how the Library connects to the UC Strategic Vision 2020-2030. I will give a short presentation, which will be followed by an interactive exercise to help you to understand how you contribute to the Strategy. We will ask you to work with someone you don’t usually work with, to talk about the work that you do and how it contributes to Education, Research and People.
You may find it helpful to read (or re-read) the UC Strategic Vision prior to the forum. We’d also like to encourage you to watch the UC Cultural Narrative which provides a Māori view of UC. It’s interesting to see how the Library appears. For those who like time to think and reflect, you are welcome to read the presentation (the link works in the appointment) beforehand, about how the Library connects to the UC Strategic Vision.
I am aware this will limit the time for staff to ask questions on the strategy or on other topics. As an alternative Moira will setup a Slido poll before the sessions and it will run for a week. The questions will be collated and depending on the question will be answered either on Counterculture or in an FAQ. Alternatively you can send questions to Kim.
I have also asked Catherine Moran to speak to staff on her priorities in Learning and Teaching and how these relate to the UC Strategy on Wednesday 2nd September at 11am. This will probably be a combined Zoom and face-to-face meeting.
Ngā mihi, Anne
