The University of Sheffield
Vice-Chancellor

Organisational development

Following discussions and meetings with staff from all areas of the University, the Vice-Chancellor identified a need to develop the organisational structure as a high priority and asked Senate to review the case for organisational development.

A Senate Steering Group conducted the review and made several recommendations, all of which were agreed to by Council and the Senate.

These include the development of a five faculty model, led by five new Pro-Vice-Chancellors (PVCs), and the introduction of a University Executive Board which will include the five new PVC posts, three additional University-wide PVC posts and senior representatives from within Professional Services.

Benefits

The benefits of the new structure include better planning across the whole University, better external representation and a greater ability to grasp opportunities and increase income.
