Comprehensive and Integrative Planning Down Under (Program collaboration with The Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers APPA)

Presenter(s): Joe S. Hollander, Massey University
Convener: Peter B. Brennan, University of Technology, Sydney


Matrix management is supposedly doomed to failure and the alignment of asset/capital/facilities and academic/institutional planning is most challenging at the best of times. They both have a significant impact upon the financial stewardship of any higher educational institution and there is no right answer, best practice or solution either. Based on a similar and successful presentation to the first SCUP Workshop in Sydney, Australia, late February 2002, this session covers the myriad of challenges, experiences, pitfalls and suggested solutions in one of New Zealand?s largest universities. Some of the features, linkages and principles should be familiar to SCUP members, but the New Zealand approach is guided by other local legislative and community imperatives. This might appear to be a provocative delivery, but how else might you engage a more collaborative approach between the boiler-house, lecture theatre and boardroom. Examples of current focus and practice will be covered, even if from a slightly more facilities flavour, as well as opportunities for systems integration and optimisation.

This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-seventh annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–37, in San Diego, CA (USA), in July of 2002.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–37 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
