In addition to its broad role to assess the strategic performance , the specific functions of the Committee include:

  • To provide advice to the University Executive, Board of Governors and Audit Committee on the adequacy and operation of the University’s strategic performance management system, which include a systematic approach to, and timeline for, strategic review across the full spectrum of University activities. This will include consideration of proposed amendments to the Strategic KPIs and Business Outcomes in terms of wording or related performance measures for the approval of the Board of Governors
