Quality, academic relevance and innovation
Our aim is to drive a culture which is strongly focused on
continuous improvement and innovation in order to achieve
national and international recognition of the quality of our
graduates, educational products, and related services.
Research, development, transfer (RDT) and commercialisation
Our aim is to promote a strong alignment between our applied
research activity and the needs of industry for practical solutions
to their ‘real-world’ problems. We intend to drive productivity and
development, and achieve greater technology transfer between
ourselves and industry.
Student participation, outcomes and Māori achievement
Our aim is to produce graduates who are employer-preferred
and work-ready. We are committed to ensuring high levels of
participation, engagement and educational success for all student
groups with a particular emphasis on raising Māori achievement.
Tertiary sector collaboration
Our aim is to develop relationships within the tertiary sector to
improve outcomes, create efficiencies, and improve performance.
CONNECT - OUR ORGANISATIONAL
CHANGE PROGRAMME
Wintec is a complex organisation, and we have ambitious
objectives. A great deal of organisational change is required
to achieve them. To succeed we will continue to use the project
management concepts and disciplines developed through
Connect which began in 2003.
This is a mechanism for translating our strategic direction into
practice. Using a project management methodology, our change
programme is as much about how we work together as it is about
what we are working on.
Connect comprises some 25 projects and 60 work streams.
These are organised around our major change areas:
internationalisation; flexible learning; organisational capability
and modernisation; employer and community engagement; and
tertiary sector collaboration.
The projects ensure that we bring the right people together
from across the organisation with the resources required to
implement the changes we seek. The disciplines of good project
management ensure projects are delivered on time, on budget,
and with the appropriate risk management, quality management,
communication and coordination in place.
